    Hah ! A lurking insert post ominously hovering in the background.

    Cute rattie, with feengerrs ! No wonder they’ve learned to cook.

    When we give ours a yogurt drop, they use those leetle hands to tuck it into their mouf and then run off. Definitely a case of powshe envy, they also use bof pawses and try to stuffs their cheeks full of sunflower seeds.

    AW, for the love of pink fingers, noses and toeses!!!

    There’s a place, I know not where (cafepress perhaps) that does stuffed replicas of pet rats from photos. I would have so many by now, though, eh? Although this blue stuffed ratty may be Remy, it is definitly a ROUS compared to the real rat!

    I see the big rat has a little friend or is it the other way round?

    Is this a case of ….. Impending Rattie Dooooom?

  10. Wolfie says:

    Oooh, and we’d almost made it out! The irony of it all, surviving the flame spurt and lightning sand, only to fall victim to the R.O.U.S.! But what a way to go!

  12. Sher says:

    But remember, True Love never dies!

    (For those of you who don’t get the Princess Bride references, go rent the movie — STAT!)

    Cute Bandito rattie!

  15. Kar says:

    Is that an animal slipper? Something surreal about this.

  16. Colonel Jenna says:

    Ah, we are playing that ever-popular rattie game, Spelunking the Rat Cave of Bedding. We shall now pop back in, hopefully with a treat or at least a good scratch behind the ears.

  17. Natalie says:

    @jen: you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    And Bandito might be the most awesome name for a rat EVAR.

  18. O NO He/She/IT DI-unt!!!! says:

    Its ALWAYS a good day if you can quote The Princess Bride or The Quiet Man! NTMTOM, you are KING!! Have fun storming the castle!

    Ooooooooo…masked ratties are actually a bit on the unusual side. My wife and I have had two out of the fifty or so vermins who have shared our lives–Bandit, a big buckly boy, and Rogue, a skinny little treat-snatching doe. Something about the mask just makes them look extra cheeky.

    Our supplier of high-quality rat hammocks and snuggle sacks is in Australia and she tells us that she’s never even seen a masked rat before except in photos from the US.

    Oh, and since this is a Princess Bride themed post: “Why are you wearing a mask? Were you scarred by acid, or something?” “No, no…they’re just terribly comfortable. I should think that in the future everyone will be wearing them.”

    I used to get so mad at Buttercup, just watching helplessly as Westly got his shoulder practically torn off. Take that stick and whack the ROUS already! Sheesh! Even at 6, I knew I’d never let a babe like Westly go without a fight :)
    However, no stick -whacking of this little cutie.
    Great, now I have the “Whacking Day” song from The Simpsons stuck in my head.
