meet my rats!

i adopted flora and fauna january 2024 at about 8 weeks old. they are now almost 2 years! they are fancy dumbo rats and have been very happy and healthy but recently fauna developed a tumour :C (very common in rats unfortunately). i was extremely nervous about her surgery but it went super well (pictured down below in her recovery sock) and she is back to her usual spunky self ! :)

mittens was adopted around 2011??!? at approximately 15 months old. she was sooo shy and hid for so long and it took a LOT to gain her trust. she's never been super affectionate but she does love a little stroke or scratch on her head :3. pikachu was adopted with his brother zissou as kittens in 2014 (as a well thought over bday pressie). i named pikachu and my sister named zissou <3
