New rats!

[oyceter]

I have new rats! Ren is still very unhappy about them, and every time I bring him out, he suspiciously sniffs at the blankets and tries to reassert his control over the territory. Also, they try to peek at him through the bars of the cage, and he doesn't do anything, lures them in, and then violently lunges.

*sigh* Maybe he is just too old for new rattie companions.

But the new rats are incredibly cute! They are so sweet and shy and friendly! It took a long time for Ruki and Ren and Bya to warm to me, but these guys actually jump toward me when they get frightened sometimes! And they climb all over me! The hooded one is a little more courageous than the brown one, who is very skittish and shy. The hooded one will amazingly sit still for the camera while the brown guy runs around sniffing everything and jumping at every other noise. They aren't very licky yet, but I can't tell if that's because they're still shy, or if they just don't do that.

So, people, help me with names! I was originally thinking of Hikaru and Kaoru from Ouran, but these guys are way too sweet to be the Hitachiin twins. I'm also contemplating Ed and Al (the new rats are brothers). Any other suggestions? Doesn't have to be from anime or manga or even a fictional source at all.



I think this is the hooded guy, although their faces look a lot alike.




The hooded guy again! Hopefully he is not planning an escape.




The little brown guy. He looks so much like Ruki, but is definitely the complete opposite in terms of personality.




Wee hooded guy hiding.




Brown guy sniffing around.




Rattie brothers, startled by the flash!

Possibly spoilery speculation for xxxHolic/Tsubasa:
Syaoran and Watanuki. Though only CLAMP knows what their connection is. Clearly Watanuki would be the skittish one.

Also, I think you should read further in Ouran. :)

Um, that said, I think Ed and Al are adorable names! And the pictures are so cute!

If they are named that, I will totally secretly call them Edo and Aru in my head.

RATTIES SOCUTE!

I like your suggestion! I know, I keep meaning to read ahead, but I'm staring at the computer screen so much for school and whatnot that reading more manga on the computer just makes my head hurt =(.
