Ratsy & Squidgie

Above: This is Ratsy. She's a bit older than Squidgie. She's the one that got away from us about 20 minutes after we brought her home by located an unfinished portion of the cabinet under our bathroom sink. We thought we were safe having her locked in the bathroom - she's crafty.


Above: Squidgie is younger than Ratsy by a couple months. She still acts like she barely knows how to walk sometimes which is silly and adorable all at the same time. She is smaller than Ratsy - I think that Ratsy steals a lot of the food. She's very timid, possibly because Ratsy bit the crap out of her neck the day that we brought Squidgie home. Though we've tried our best, we have been shitty parents to these rats on the days we brought them both home. Sigh...
