Look! Cultural appropriation! (just kidding, it's actually rats)

A little bar on the rat cage broke so that the door now apparently doesn't always stay latched. I walked in this morning to find the door wide open, with the rats thankfully still asleep inside. I walked in a few minutes ago after work to find the door wide open again.

Rats still inside.

Most domesticated rats ever.

Or dorkiest!

Your rats (I assume they're yours in the icon) are so cute!

My rats never liked to come out of their cage on their own, either, when I'd leave it open and invite them out. I usually needed to offer bribes for this to work.

Twist-tie repair time?

Yes! They're my rats in the icon! I think Fitz-rat's on the bottom and Fool-rat's face is on top, but you can't really tell that Fool-rat is hooded.

The funny thing is, mine will scamper to the door if I make the food clicky noise. Or sometimes they'll just be there, looking out at me, begging to be let out.

Definitely twist-tie time. My rat water bottle is held to the cage via twist-tie as well, because I lost the wire thing.

Also, I use twist-ties as stitch markers.

They are handy!
