Ratten

I've been busy with two new rats I got last month! The first is Karel de Grote (the Dutch name for Charlemagne), a 5 month old male. I call him Karl for short. Karl has big attitude and a love for adventure. He's not much for petting, he'd rather be on the move.

The other is Distle (Dutch for Thistle), a 3 month old male. Distle is shy and likes to sit in a hoodie, though Karl is helping him learn to be curious about new places. Distle is a home-body who likes to keep his place cozy and clean and often tosses out Karl's dirty bedding.

I've had rats in the past, but this is a first for my Dutchman. Though he isn't much of a pet person, I think these two are slowly bringing him around!
