Harry & Archie!!
Tuesday, April 10, 2007As for the boys, well Archie has discovered that there's a world beyond the walkway and settee! Only thing is he's got a passion for paper, I've discovered all sorts of papers with chewed corners, Archie looks guilty then bounces off, I'm sure he's sniggering!
And if you're doing anything on the floor, how nosey is he! I wouldn't let him look yesterday and he was running back and forwards behind me having a fit, then he seemed to think I'll make a flying leap up her back! Painful! He follows us from room to room, he's like a little dog at times! I hide treats about the place and he goes on a hunt.
The other day I caught him pulling the carpet!! I think not! He loves his toys and loves getting in the cupboard where they all are! Harry, well I've put him on the floor a few times but he doesn't seem to enjoy being there as much as Archie does so I tend to sit on the floor and lift him back up when he's had enough.
It's easy to get Harry back to the cage, just strum you fingers on it and he runs like hell to get back in! I can't wipe the shelves down when he's around because he goes mad, I have two big scratches down my arm from the last time! Harry seemed quiet pleased about that!
When you hold Harry and stroke him you should hear the noises from him, he squeaks and squeals the whole time, I thought it was the girls that made so much noise! And the size of him, he's huge compared to skinny little Archie! He's like a miniature version of a polar bear!
He has a thing about taking every bit of food into the house at the bottom, the other day I cut pasta up into tiny bits (took me ages!!) but he got round that by stuffing loads of bits in his mouth and dashing up and down with it! I gave them some rice last night and he started carrying that down, must have taken him all night cause it's all gone now!

Faversham Rescue babies - update
From Tracy in Ashford:
It's going fantasticly with the girls. They are so adorable and into everything.When I go into see them in the mornings they both peer sleeperly at me as if to say 'Don't you know what time it is?'
I've put a radio in with them which is on in the background all the time.
They love coming out and run all over the top of theircage, on the sofa and even in the top drawer of the cabinet.
We're having great fun together and no two days are the same with them.
From Viv in Dover:
The babies are great ,full of mischief and growing big.
I brought them a pack of hammocks and toy's the Saturday before last and they have had great joy in eating them. One of them i don't think i will be able to use again as it disintegrated in the wash found bits of it everywhere.I think it's Whiz and Roly that are the culprit's for the chewing .
Baldric on the other hand finds eating real food his best past time when he's awake you can normally find him eating. His belly is nearly as big as my older big boy Dickie's but he is just shorter in length so her resembles a little ball with arms and legs. When he's free ranging i chase him around with my hand to give him some extra exercise but as soon as he gets back in the cage it's straight to the food bowl he goes to compensate for the energy he has used up.
Their personalities are really coming to light now and they are all so good tempered and get on so well with the big boy's Bobby and Dickie it's great to watch them all interact and play .
You never know if they carry on as they are and don't become hormonal teenagers i might be after another two from you in a few more months!
From Carol in Ashford:
The girls are doing just fine - they are very friendly, eating well, and seem to enjoy climbing around in and out of the cage. Maisie is still slightly smaller than Stella, but she is hyper-active, which may account for that.
They get on really well with Cleopatra and Boadicea, and there has been no problems at all.
From Ann and Paul in Graveney
The girls are lovely. Mollie's an absolute angel, she wont stay still for 5 seconds and is always running around creating mischief! She's definately Pauls favorite, she just loves to climb down his t-shirt and tickle his armpits!
Cassie's the quietist at the moment, but she still has a good run around at playtime & Bubble & Squeak are great, Squeaks now the biggest, I think she must steal treats from one of the others!
From Tilly in Tunbridge Wells
They’re brilliant rats, so friendly and confident. I took them to the Estuary Rat Club show a couple of weeks ago and they loved all the attention they got, climbing over lots of people. They’re also famous now; they had a photo in the courier – copy here: http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/community/viewtopic.php?p=602751&highlight=#602751
I still can’t tell the agouties apart unless I turn them upside down and look at their bellies, but I’m sure they’ll develop some individuality as they grow up.

Update on Sonny & Co
Monday, April 09, 2007Nichola says:
The boys are absolutly great. Wouldn't be without my chunky monkeys. I can't even remember the last time i was bitten, it's great. They had been scrapping a little bit more then usual recently, but when cleaning their cages out Thursday i put their cage on top of the girls cage and so far have not heard a peep from them. Though i have found it a little awkward getting their feed in and miss seeing their little cheeky faces watching me from the bottom of my bed so next time i dismantle the girls cage to clean, the boys will be going under their cage so i can get to them better. All three enjoy a play and a poke when they're rumaging around in their cage and as long as i don't wake them up too early all three will jump onto their drawbridge in the morning for cuddles and strokes.
Mika is still the most confident and will meet anyone that comes into the house and sit on their shoulder without any worrying. Sonny and Fredo will come out and say hi aswell, though prefer not to.
Asides from that they've just been my little stars, active and friendly, couldn't have asked for nicer boys. So glad i took them on or i don't think i'd ever have owned boys and am so happy i do.
