Rat pictures!

I have been really terrible about rat updates, particularly for Haru and Momo. I think some of it is because CB thinks they are adorable too, so I get most of my "OMG LOOK AT THE RATSES!" out in person, which has not been the case for all my other rats.

Also, now that I have a new phone, I can take much better pictures. (You can tell when I get the new phone in the pictures below...) Alas, the whole using a camera, uploading the pictures to my computer, then uploading to the internet takes a few steps too many.

Anyway, Momo and Haru turn two some time this month! Yay!

That said, Momo's hind legs continue to decline =(. He doesn't seem to be in much pain, and I don't think he's losing any more weight. Just in case, I have been feeding him Ensure every so often. It smells disgusting, but he seems to like it. This is especially good, since he absolutely hates his medicine. Rats: teeny little front arms, and yet powerful enough to make syringe feeding difficult. >_<;;

Haru is rather delighting in all this, since he is now top rat of the cage.

And sadly, CB continues to be incredibly allergic to the rats, so he spent this week staying at his brother's place. Our romance: fated to terrible separation, two lovers torn apart by allergies! He must choose his health, while she must nurse her beloved pet!

... my life, not really romance novel fodder. Thankfully!

Anyway, have some blurry rat pictures!
