Meet Miggley and Mog!
On 27th of April I brought home a couple of new additions to the family – two baby rats who I have named Miggley and Mog! At the time they were just 7 weeks old, very small and very shy, but in just over a week I managed to gain their trust (which took a lot of patience!), and they are now happy, lively, very quick and very lovely. And here they are…

Aren’t they gorgeous? We used to keep a lot of rats as a family when I was younger, but these two are all mine and it amazes me just how much of a bond I have with them already. They love to sit in the bonding pouch that my mum made for me to carry them in, and they’re currently getting used to playing in the play pen pictured above. Ratties need free range time!
Here are a few of my favourite pictures of the pair…
Miggley and Mog are extremely adventurous, so expect more posts in the future all about their escapades! I’m determined to teach them how to swim so we’ll see how that goes.
Would you ever have a rat as a pet?

aww I used to have 2 hooded rats years ago I called them vodka & Coke!
they are lovely little things aren’t they
enjoy
They are so cute! I don’t think that I could have a rat as a pet with a cat already in residence – but I will admire them from a distance!
aw my, so cute and cuddly!!
Aaaw they are soooo cute. I used to have 3 rats quite a while ago, they were gorgeous, but they kept eating my work uniform and using it for bedding, little buggers. :)X
awww…. very cute, and that’s saying something because I hate rats. >.
