I wanted rats for years when I was growing up, but my parents always said no
My junior year of high school I came home from school and found that my brother's roommate wanted me to watch his rat for the summer. "Agatha" lived in a small plastic cage the size of a shoebox, on cedar bedding, eating bird seed The cage was so small that she couldn't even stand on her hind legs.
Long story short he let me keep her, and I adopted two friends for her from a rescue.
Fiona
Aggie after her tumor removal (on my mom's shoulder, HA! She won her over )
Daisy and Fiona
Aggie passed away after she had a stroke, and Daisy passed away shortly after. I adopted Scarlett and Robin to keep Fiona company.
Robin (Robin Hood...get it? a hooded rat? ha)
Robbie all grown up
Scarlett protecting her sister...Scarlett was very timid but she would always climb on top of Robin when they were out of their cage.
Robin was my last remaining girl and she passed away last year. I miss the little monkeys!
