After visiting Amy, Meredith and I went back to Petco and picked out a second rat! We been reading a whole lot about rats and learned that rats are highly social and that they get depressed without other rats around! We also read that you have to introduce them in a neutral environment - so we set up a little play area on the floor so that Ratso could meet her new roommate, Roxy!
I was puttering around the apartment on Sunday and Meredith texted me to announce that she was coming home with "a surprise!" She walked in with a huge smile and a tiny box!
On Sunday afternoon I was walking to brunch and came across this dead rat. At the time I just thought it was interesting, but since then Meredith and I have gotten pet rats so this pic sorta makes me sad. Awwww. (He's holding out his little dead paws just like our live rats do when they want a treat).
