This is Lulu. She came to us back on January 10th when we saw that SARS was overloaded with rats. More people dumping or pet store pregnancies. Lulu is a very pretty girl who is very very vocal. Whenever we hear a raspy noise we know it's Lulu and one of the others must be looking at her sideways. They don't even have to touch her. She also likes to bite. Not too hard and squeaks at the same time. Quite cute. We'd think it would upset her but she comes to climb up my arm.
Like the other three girls from the same rescue situation, she is going to need a bit of socializing. The only one that isn't really uncomfortable is Clementine but it's probably because she is younger (we think).
We really like having Lulu with us, even though we are a little overlimit with so many ladies.
This is Virginia. She isn't all that helpful when it's picture time. We usually are able to get good pics when she is with other rats (see the bigger pic - she is the one looking right into the camera). We brought her home along with Lulu on January 10. We were told she was getting a bit skinny and probably wasn't going to be with us for a long time. Having said that, she is doing quite well and getting a little round in the middle. She has grown a little lump so we are going to keep an eye on it along with her age and eating. Virginia is very quiet but friendly and likes to lick on occasion. She is not overly happy to be out of the cage but isn't a biter or scared, which is nice. I hope she is with us a long time, at least in rat time!
