so i got my new pets!! 2 very sweet male baby rats!!!! theres some photos on my fotolog so go see them there. theyre so cute and its really nice to have pets again :o)

theyre sat just next to my computer desk and one of them is looking at me at the moment, either wondering what i'm doing or if i'm going to feed them!!

i've named them now, theyre quite different looking so its easy to tell them apart. the beige and white one is called Bailey as he looks similar colour to Baileys. and the brown and white one is called ninja as lexy thought he looked like a kung fu rat so that inspired the name ninja.

theyre about 11 weeks old so theyre still quite small, they fit easily into the palm of your hand. theyre still alittle nervous as theyre not used to their surroundings or me yet, but theyre getting better. to start with Bailey was quite jumpy and almost escaped when i went to chose them. But now he's much more relaxed.

theyre not too noisy, they didnt wake me up at all. i wasnt very sleepy when i went to bed so i just sat up reading and they were happily trotting around the cage, exploring, feeding and playing. they sleep quite a lot but theyre quite energetic and inquisitive when theyre awake.

ugh back to work on monday, boo hiss!! glad i'm feeling better tho, i felt so grotty last week it was horrible and my throat was so damn sore!!! got tuesday night to look forward to, i'm going to visit the lovely lexy and bump :o)
