Here are photos of our recent pets. We are unable to have dogs, cats
or rabbits as pets, as my youngest son - Andrew - is very allergic to most of these breeds, however he is fine with these
pets - Rats!
Our first pet rat was given to us by friends. She was about 18months old when we got her.
We named her Ratbag, and she has since died, but still fondly remembered.
We bought Luci soom after Ratbag had left us. Luci died late
2004.
(Rats are 'short-term' pets, as they only have an average lifespan of
2-4 years).
We bought Toni about 3 weeks after we got Luci, as rats are 'pack'
animals and need the company. Toni was always very active and loved to explore. It seemed she was never still
for long. Toni died just before Luci late in 2004.
Maxi and Ruby we bought very early in 2005. They are sisters, being from the
same litter. They both seem to love human attention, and are rather active.
Can you guess which one is Ruby?
