Hey guys, not been around in a while, had a lot going on here, broke up with my b/f 7 weeks ago so just been moping about pretty much but starting to feel better now, slowly, anyhow, thought i'd just update you all, everyone is doing great here, all furries alike and some new additions in rodent form, all rescues so I shall introduce them and a little about each of them, hope you like them, even though these guys are practically lunch on this forum!
Ok first these are my boys, Jack and James. They came from someone who just couldn't be bothered with them anymore. He was actually thinking about 'setting them free'. :shock: Came to me in a tiny cage I wouldn't even find suitable for a hamster personally, never mind 2 rats, but there you go! Of course I sorted that when they came to live with me! they were not used to being handled and very shy, they are still quite shy as far as rats go but much more handleable.

This is Kate, she came under similar circumstances from a friend of a friend who heard I took Jack and James and asked did I want Kate. The pet shop she was from wouldn't take her back because she was 'unhandleable' and 'nippy' and wouldn't be able to be sold on. She came to me in a small fish tank, with shredded newspaper covering in pi$$ for bedding. And that's it! :shock: A week after I got her she was sat on my knee while I was on the pc, happy as larry, chattering away, unhandleable my ar$e! :evil: More like they couldn't be bothered putting any work in. :roll:

And these are my newest additions, Ana and Lucia. I was looking for a wee female friend for Kate as ideally rats should be kept in pairs (or more!) and I had her cage up next to the boys cage but was on the look out for another wee girl. These 2 came from the Pets at Home adoption section, their previous owner said he was moving to a new place and was not allowed pets there. They are only 5-6 months old, maybe i'm just cynical but I think more likely the novelty just wore off.

My camera is over at the church as I am taking some pics for the website but soon as I get it back I will update with photos of the feline gang!
Hope everyone is well and all the furkids are good too. :-D
