Napping like pros.
I love them. What are their names?
The white one is Jasper, and the middle one is Remy. The one at the top, I can't tell from this pic (I don't have rats anymore. this photo is old). It's either Mocha or Templeton. They both looked exactly the same, except Templeton had a larger white spot on his forehead. It was the only way to tell them apart.
Were Remy and Templeton named after the rats from Ratatouille and Charlotte's Web?
Yup. They were. I also had an emile. Can you guess who he was named after?
Remy's brother? :)
yup. heh. My other boys weren't named after famous rats. I just liked the names.
All cute names! I also haven't had rats in a while, but I love seeing other people's.
I adore rats. I love them so much. But I can’t take such short lifespans. My heart aches because they all died so soon. Most of them were about 3 or 4 when they died. Too soon </3
That's a good age! All mine were rescues, and most were probably from pet shops originally, so my oldest rats reached around 2.5 or 3. I had several that died suddenly of unexplained causes at less than a year old. I have a lot of regrets and horrible memories, but also a lot of good memories, too. My bf couldn't take the heartache anymore, though, and it was getting harder to pay vet bills, so we decided not to get more....for a while. My bf doesn't want pets ever again, but I'd like more rats someday.
Yes definitely. I have lots of happy memories (and photos) of my lads. But yeah, I won’t get anymore. Most of mine were rescues too. I got two from a breeder at the behest of my support worker at the time. But the rest were rescues
