This week, we welcomed 3 new fur friends to the menagerie! We are having a blast with our rats Nighttime (dark gray), Cloudy-Darky (gray and white), and Red Eyes (white with red eyes). We found them on Craig’s List in a nearby town, complete with cage! They’re all adult females, between 6-12 months old. Nighttime is the most friendly and adventurous of the bunch. Cloudy-Darky and Red Eyes came out of the cage for the first time tonight, tempted by treats, but then they scampered right back in. Nighttime enjoys climbing all over us and exploring her surroundings. We’ve been doing free-range playtime with them in the upstairs bathroom and it’s been working out well.
Declan is excited to have pets he can make toys for and interact with so much. Quinn thinks they’re great *in* the cage or when they’re up to a foot away from her out of the cage, but she gets nervous when they’re closer than that. We’ve run through our supply of Band-Aids around here because Mike keeps sticking his fingers in the cage. ; )
Declan and Olin making a “Sock Pinata” filled with treats to hang in the cage.
We renewed our membership to the Children’s Museum this year and had a great time during our visit.
Our friend Carlo came sledding with us all the way from New York City!
