I am curious to know if any fellow members of this forum have pet rats. Dame Freya and I have three little monsters; a dumbo blue rat named Rapester, a beige hooded rat named Destructo, and a gray self rat who is named Pussy.
All three are males, and they reside happily in a sprawling estate that includes a cage with several levels, a bookshelf filled with towels to burrow in, and an old armchair that is covered with a soft blanket.
Our rats are terrible pests, but they seem to be happy, and it is not unusual to hear them bruxing and see them eye-boggling. (It would be freaky as hell if Freya did such a thing, however. Search YouTube for "rat eye boggle" to see an example of this behavior.)

I don't have any pet rats, but I would love to have some. I really fawned over two rats that were kept in my form room at school, and I know my sister has two rats that look adorable. Interesting choice of names there...care to explain the logic or ideas behind the names Rapester, Destructo and Pussy? And eye-boggling? I don't think I've heard of that term before...I'll have to check that out.

Sure, I can explain the names.
Pussy is afraid of everything. Destructo likes to shred everything. Rapester tries to rape everything. (We also call him Pyramid Head.)

Funny you should mention rats...I got two the Saturday just gone! Or technically I have one whilst the other belongs to my boyfriend Chris, Mine is Zelda (with the brown face mask)and his is named GLaDOS (white with the grey back). They are only 6 months old at the moment and so tiny! It's a bit freaky that as dumbo rats they are going to get 3 times as big! So far they will climb onto us and our hands but only if we are in jumping distance of the cage but then we have only had then 3 days As soon as they are comfortable with us and respond to their names (they kindof respond now but both of them to both names lol) it's time for tricks and games! Apparently the like digging, fishing for peas in puddles of waters and some of them even like to swim! Exciting times ^^

I have a whole album dedicated to them at the mo O.o This is the problem with dating a photographer and being one yourself! When you get suck cute subjects you kindof abuse that fact lol I do love them though despite the fat they are timmys!! It makes them amusing I suppose By the way does anyone have any good ratty forums or webpages they could recommend?
