I learned today that there are different types of rats. And my ratbies (rat babies) are dumbos! And they're so cute ! For those of you who don't know, dumbos are rats with larger, rounder ears on the sides of their heads, rather than the top of their heads. I'll show you a pic for reference.
My babies are just 2 months old so they're still tiny but here, look at how cute they are!
This is Ursula, or better known as Ula.
She is the social butterfly of the two. She likes blueberries and cheerioes and dried papaya pieces as well as chewing holes through all the towels and boxes I give her. She is an adventurer and as you can see her ears are a lot rounded and on the side of her head. She is still a smol bab.
And this is Cruella, or better known as Ella.
This is about the only picture I could snap of her since she's very shy and still has issues bonding with me. She's often found hiding or cowering away in a corner or pocket. She doesn't like carrots but she loves yogurt drops with honey and her pink blanket!
Here are my ratbies taking a nap, Ella on top and Ula on bottom which is a rare phenomenon as Ula's other favourite past time is sitting on Ella's head.
Their cage is still small since they are babies but I had to modify the larger cage that I bought them with mesh wire since the bars are too big x.x Their cage them is pink and pink since they're cute pink and white. Today they got a new hammock after I deep cleaned their cage and Ula tripped out over it.
Thanks for reading my long post! Have my potato face from my last con!
