Bank vole I found while a tractor was moving dirt around. Poor guy was shaking in fear. We think he vacated dirt mountain that was in our yard and we demolished his home. Took a box, filled it with some fleece and food from my rats. Moved it into grass fields near the house. Sorry little guy...

My tip for making your rats move more. One of the most successful foraging obstacles in my cage. No puzzle solving. Just hard work trying to dig up that food. I pack tp rolls in a box and scatter food in there. My girls go nuts trying to dig up every little piece.

There are good rats and then there is this Diva. She performs The Italian Job on household items. While in a playpen, never loses a chance to demonstrate The Shawshank Redemption level escape, and impersonates Banshee at least every other night. Hope she'll never learn who Pinky and the Brain are...

My girl is slowly wasting away. And my only regret is, that in her short life, half of it was with someone who mistreated her very badly... now this cuddle bug is ready to leave. Not sure how long we have left. One thing I know is that those few days we do - is not enough. Hug your rats!
