The best part about living in New York City is being able to hop a train (or plane for that matter) and go pretty much anywhere with ease. Today I took a day trip out to Mount Arlington, New Jersey to pick up the new rattie babies. The trip was very scenic and the time away from the familiar was welcomed. I can't thank the Meghan of Paper Heart Rattery enough for allowing me to adopt these two cute little gals from her and for being so kind and wonderful today.
The gals have settled in already and it's been such a nice change of pace watching young, healthy pets bounding about their cage. I had been watching sickies since February. My entire crew were up in age and got sick and then passed and each passing was just heartbreaking because I had spent every day with these pets. I almost forgot what it was like to have a young rattie in the house. Its nice and I've already started to bond with Petunia. I believe she will be the first to train. The other one found the famous hiding spot near the wheel and as you can see, is utilizing it. That is ok. All in good time.
Today was a long, but fruitful day even if I didn't do a stitch of art work. The time away has replenished my urge to work and has inspired me.

Takes a bit of getting used to seeing nekkid rat, I forgot that's the way they come out of the package...instructions should read 'just add hair'...

Thank you! I'm so in love! They are just babies and I've never had babies. They are so playful and licky and lovey! They love to play and chase my hand. ITs ADORABLE!
Becky, they have a very warm area down on the bottom of the cage to snuggle and they have a fleece hammock to snuggle in. The cage has about 4 tiers to it. They never get hair. They stay hairless. ;)
Oh really no hair! HOW COOL! I always wanted a hair less critter! I think they look so soft and silky and Id love to hug one.. I cant wait to see how they look as they grow.. I hope you'll keep us updated with their growth and antics.. they really are so cute.. and Im Glad they are warm in their cage.. I was sure you had a cuddle spot for them.. but had to ask cause im nosy...lol

They are so silky! Oh yes, there are lots of fun things in the cage for them and lots of yogi drops waiting for them too! Petunia is already catching on that when I "cluck" my tongue there is a treat coming. ;) She is gonna be easy to train I think.
Adorable.
Cute Overload!
I didn't realize these are the hairless type... my niece had rats for many years, and she did have one hairless one, that really took some getting used to for me.
