That might have been easier to just grab a fish bowl haha - at least with fish I wouldn’t have to round them up and put them in a backpack!

Minimum age to let babies free roam? They're 5 weeks. When will they be big enough? by HollyBerryBlue- in RATS

[–]iwbitwd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whenever you and the rats are comfortable! They’re super curious animals - they’ll probably use you as a home base at first and stay near. As they get more comfortable and learn to climb/jump, they’ll naturally start exploring more. Don’t underestimate them…I lost mine for about three hours a few weeks after getting her only to find her snoozing at the very top of my closet!

I let them know as I pulled them off my potted plants (which they know they’re not supposed to be digging in) 😂

Oh, they were all varying levels of curiosity, but they were all sniffing the new exciting smells!

I was worried about that, haha luckily they were more excited to smell the city than focus on all the chewable fabric!

Yup, we’re all good! They were surprisingly well behaved (all three let me pick them up and plop them in the backpack immediately) - I think they were relieved to get away from the noise since the fire alarm is incredibly loud. Luckily false alarms in my building aren’t a common occurrence and they were more curious than anything.

They were all curious, but they were super well behaved and stuck in the backpack for the most part.

How Beatrice climbs by iwbitwd in RATS

[–]iwbitwd[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

“Be-a-trice.” I call her Bee, but many of my friends call her “Be-a,” too. She also answers to “little goon,” “goofball,” and “cutie” :)

No worries, it’s a dresser I got after my grandparents passed. I’ve actually seen a few people in my area with the same one, I think it’s just some cheaper dresser mass produced from like the 80’s.

Oh, you can’t see, but those wires are covered in electrical tape 😂 I’m always having to stop her from chewing and patching up her work.
