Hi everyone!

 

I recently got 2 hand-raised rat boys from a breeder.  They were 2 months old when we got them, and are about 3 months now.  It's been fantastic to watch how they grow - they were around 250g when we got them, and now they're both around 400g.

 

They are very, very hard to tell apart - they're both black with a little white on their legs and bellies.  The best way we've found is that the tip of Cotton Candy's tail is pink with white fur, and Bubblegum's tail is all-black.

Cute!!! My bf and I would love to have rats, but no room :(. We live in a very small house and already struggle to find ways to fit the enclosures we have.

Congratulations! I understand that rats are very intelligent creatures and can learn a great many things.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone! The spoiled boys appreciate it lol

They are rex. Their whiskers are super curly, but their fur is just kinda...messy? Though I'm not sure they have their full adult coats yet.
