Our first rat Crunchie joined our family in 1993.
We don't quite know why we thought of getting a pet rat, it just sort of
came to us. Life with Crunchie was amazing and our little friends
that have followed, well we have loved them all. The complexities of
a rats personality has taught us we will never know enough, but the best
we can offer them is love, attention and food.
For more information and pictures on our rattie
family check out Rattie Rescue
which is dedicated to all our RSPCA rats. Or if you're looking for
advice about rats check out my other site
Rat Care, which is full of rattie hints and tips I've learnt over the
years.

These guys are full of energy and mischief.
They may be happy to snooze away the hours in their home, but get them
out and they turn into bundles of craziness. Just what having
ratties is all about, chaos. |

Our old guy Toffee was not happy on his own
after the loss of his two brothers. So, we popped down our local
RSPCA and came back with two cuddly friends for him. Now we have
three matching black hooded rats. It's as though they were made
for each other. |

While at the RSPCA collecting our two boys,
Pickle & Tomato, this little girl ended up joining out family.
Things were a bit confused at first, she was supposed to be a boy, but
now we are all settled and happy, we can't imagine a home without
Petal. |

Two little boys who are as opposite in
temperament as they are in colour. These sweet little boys
kindly welcomed Minty into their home, after the sad loss of his
brother, Rummy. |

These two boys came to us from the RSPCA.
Sadly little Rummy was very poorly and was only with us for one short
week. Our big guy Minty now lives with our other boys Toffee and
Carmel. |

There was space in our home and lives for
some more ratties. So instead of a pet shop we went to our local
Wood Green Animal shelter
and got four adorable rats. Two little girls and two cuddly
boys, who have been neutered so they can all live together happily. |
