1:29a - Oh Rats!
I'm going to do a few quick entries - I start uni again today and have been putting off blog stuff, so I'll have to catch back up with myself..
After getting the all-clear from the vets I got 2 new rats a few weeks back. I thought long and hard about getting chinchillas instead, but they don't click so well with me.. Maybe next time though.
Then it took me a week to work out what to call them.. The bigger, lighter one is Rasputin, the Smaller skittier almost black & white one is Romero.. I picked one name for unkillability and the other for zombie association. (makes sense when you see his markings)
Best thing about these two though is I can actually tell which one is which! - They have very different personalities, and play fight a lot.. Rasputin is definitely the alpha, but Romero seems braver (wel, prepared to leap off things without much thought) and maybe more intelligent.. Yesterday he worked out how to use the Wodent wheel - which had been there for about 3 weeks before they plucked up courage to do anything with it..
I don't think he was impressed.. Why run when you can sleep I suppose.
happy
