These are the rats that currently own me;
NOVA:
Nova is a silvery-grey hooded Dumbo-eared rat. She is a very sweet natured, daft-looking, greedy bundle of fun.
Her hobbies include; Keeping one ear open for packets being opened. Fretting about her sister stealing bedding material. Practising her 'pleading for treats' look.
I got her from a local breeder when she was around 7 weeks old.
I was impressed by her parents (Hera and Zeus) who were very healthy and friendly.
The way the mother Hera trusted her owner told me everything I needed to know.
These babies had been handled, and were used to human contact, which is always a plus, and he clearly knew what he was talking about.
I brought her home in the standard small furry carrier, and introduced her to her cage, and the rest.. as they say.. is history. :)
FREYA:
Freya is Novas half sister. They have the same mother, the lovely Hera.
She is a chocolate coloured hooded rat, with markings that extend to the base of her tail.
Although they share the same mother, that is where any similarity ends, she doesn't have dumbo ears, and has a very delicate little face, compared to her sister.
She is a mad bundle of energy, a cheeky, stubborn little monkey (I wouldn't have her any other way!)
Her hobbies include; Stealing Novas bedding material. Running on her wheel. Doing the 'wall of death' around my neck.
;)
So those are my girls. I will post some Info about choosing, etc soon!
