My friend and I couldn’t use the observatory today because it was cloudy so we decided to go adopt a rat instead

I have an old torn up pillowcase and one of my rats has really bad seperation anxiety (and just anxiety in general) so I took the pillowcase and cut a little square out of it and gave it to the rat because it smells like me and now he’ll go to sleep wherever I put his little “blankie” oh my god it’s so cute

Oh noes! Very cute but please please please buy her a friend! Rats are very social creatures and can actually become depressed and anxious due to being so lonely. :)
We plan on it! We only got one today because the store was closing in like 5 minutes
you send me a picture of animals doing something cute: look its us!
me: aww *adds your name to list titled Furry Suspects*
This is how my friend found the cat in the bathroom
Always hang your cat up to dry after a bath.
“I AM THE NITE”
“stop”
“CRIMINALS ARE A MEOWARDLY AND SUPERSTITIOUS LOT”
“get down from there”
Anonymous asked:
Get a rabbit cage or something built for ferrets. “Rat” cages are way too small for rats. They need buddies, imo I liked raising boys better. They love hammocks. Bird toys are just as good as rat toys (ladders, ropes, cozies). They love attention and giving kisses!! And don’t burn candles/incense/smoke around your ratties, they have incredibly sensitive lungs. Get them low dust bedding or even better, cloth bedding, for this same reason. They’re so very smart too, so get them plenty of toys and re-arrange their cage every time you clean it to keep them stimulated. Look up the subreddit for rats, you could find lots of info there!
what is it about capybaras that attracts groups of small animals to them?
Its not just mammals either its like birds and turtles and frogs too




look at this shit
They radiate peace
capybaras are friend shaped
I read an article today suggesting that rats are so empathetic that they often mimic their owners emotions and so if their owner is depressed the rats can become depressed NO NO MY BABIES MY POOR LITTLE RAT BABIES I LOVE YOU EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY I don’t care about me it’s too late for me bUT NOT THEM.

thank you for the important whore lore
I had my ratties out and my roommate and I got on the subject of what makes the alpha rat the alpha and I was like “idk. Age, size… size of testicles are all probably factors” and so naturally my roommate is like “dude I’m older, bigger, and have bigger testicles than both of them!” And I was like “yes Jared you would be the alpha rat I suppose” to which he responded by standing up off the couch, showing my rats his testicles, and whispering to them “I’m the alpha now”
