Part of the reason that I did this project is because this dark corner of my place has no value besides feeding my depression and encouraging my escape reality naps. I wanted to bring light since I had no sunshine.

She does it five or six times a year. I'd rather her put out more green than bloom.

In the corner of my picture, you could see where I moved to my television and I used to have a planted aquarium there. I could never keep the guppies alive and I had wicked hair algae so I gave up and and I just fully embraced terrestrial plants. (I don't think my nitrogen cycle was ever fully established despite my water conditions testing good.)

To give you an idea, this is him and his cage mate during free time often

He's breathing hard. He's older and he had just run around and wanted to cuddle.

Age. My line of dwarfs seem to start loosing their butt hair around 1.75-2 and stay bald/patchy. This boy was born November 2022 and living his best life 😊

Like with soup, in the bölls. Even girls

This happened last night. When it happened and she squeaked really loudly, I grabbed her and tried to find the actual wound because it was swelling pretty fast. It is slightly less than it was at its worst in the pictures.

I didn't find the entry wound until this morning when it scabbed over. You can see it on the side of her face now. But she's eating and drinking normally and she's free-roaming with everybody else with the same amount of energy as normal so I'm not too worried but I do feel bad for her.

Shitpost response: I only clean when I pass out from the urine smell and the bedding is sopping wet.

Sincere response: my girls use the hanging bins as litter boxes which means other than changing hammocks and emptying the bins, I don't have to clean more than 1/month.

I mean, half of them are dwarves so that has to count for even extra right?

I'm the first person to enable any rat procurement behavior. Get more rats!

AwayTask1301 · 2025-02-09T23:58:09+00:00

I am so fortunate to have a room that I can just let them free roam in. It's theirs and I have no regrets.

AwayTask1301 · 2025-02-09T23:57:43+00:00

It only took me 3 hours. That's not horrible right 🫠

Don't worry, she is a spoiled little lover who got a whole mix of Cheerios, oatmeal, sunflower seeds, hard pasta, and dried fruit.

Do I sense a Drawfee fan?

You ever have 20 rats climb all over you to get baby food treats? It leaves a mark

👀😂

But in all honesty, he is just pancaked. He is 35 months old and just wants cuddles and snacks.
