Rattie birthday

[oyceter]

Today is Fool-rat's third birthday! He's probably around eighty or ninety in human years.

He's not very active anymore; mostly he sleeps all day and eats a little. His hind legs are largely paralyzed now, though that doesn't stop him from trying to squirm out of my lap.

I haven't posted much about the rats in the past few months, largely because I worry a lot about Fool-rat and the baby rats (not so baby anymore) tire me out. But they're still there and doing their rat thing.

Aww, happy birthday to Fool-rat. He's a very old rat, yeah, but he seemed pretty content when I saw him.

I'm curious to see recnt pics of the babies-- I bet they've grown.

I keep forgetting to take some; my camera battery needs to be recharged.

I really shouldn't be calling them the babies anymore, since they're really big! Byabya in particular is very fat, since he's lazy and likes to sleep.

Hey, rats! Yay, rats!

I'm sure he's a very happy old rattie due to being showered with love, squirming aside. Does he get birthday treats?

[oyceter]

Hee, a lot of lettuce! Maybe not too treat-like, but he seemed pretty happy with it.
