My poor rat baby

I was going to organise some good make up posts today but I had to postpone that as one of my rats has become sick.

I had to take Elric to the vet today. We came back from the vet with two kinds of antibiotics.
The vet says he has the flu and that I also have to start force feeding him more food with a syringe as he seems a bit weak.
Here he is all wrapped up in my scarf after the trip to the vet while I ate a sandwich.

Cute Pet Picture Friday

If you first look at this picture it looks like a picture of a cat on a bed covered in toys.

But look closer......

Here is my rat Elric hanging out on my knitting bits box.

And here is Marvolo the rat hiding out in the toys, the third rat Horatio is in there somewhere too but hiding under all the toys.

I love seeing my pets get on. The cats and the rats have a nice little truce going at the moment which means we can let the rats out t hang around with us more. We never leave them out with the cats unless we are supervising, that is asking for trouble.

Cute Pet Picture Friday

Again not on Friday but a bit closer.
Today's stars are in a cute little rat pile.
These are (l-r) Marvolo, Elric and Horatio

Marvolo and Horatio are brothers.
We took them from a pet shop where they were both very sick with rat flu.

Little Elric was bought a bit later after the other guys got rid of the flu.
Having three makes them a bit less territorial.

They like going out for walks on my shoulder and going around in my handbag.
