Sweet li'l things. For some reason we got into per rats when I was a kid. People went "EUW!" but the one time we tried a mouse it disappeared - "ZIP!" - in one day. I liked the rats, they were meat for pets and were really friendly. My first one was kind of these colors.
OH, NOT MEAT for pets!! "MEANT TO BE pets". I have dyslexia, a little bit, and I sometimes type the worst things by mistake! Oh dear . . .
SMILE! at your male rat at the store! I thought this might be a hamster but I wasn't sure. Cute li'l guy.
