Christmas Photo Shoot

It's time to order the Christmas cards so a ratty photo session was in order. Needless to say they weren't always the most cooperative about this idea!

Check out those badness tails!

T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
Oh, Tibby, Tibby, Tibby starts with t.

Sometimes a James looks like a Tibby but it is not a Tibby
Sometimes a Kirk looks like a Tibby but it is not as naughty as a Tibby

So T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
T is for Tibby who is good enough for me
Oh, Tibby,Tibby,Tibby starts with t.

Raleigh - 4th May 2010 - 6th November 2012

Old age final caught up with Raleigh. Our oldest rat ever, he was with us for 30 wonderful months. From the cheeky we rat with massive paws to a massive cuddly adult.

He wasn't the most social of rats, every other day he would opt to remain in the cage rather than coming to get a hug. Though in the last few months he's enjoyed his daily grooming and in particular ear rubs.

Raleigh managed to outlive five other rats and as a result often found himself with younger cage mates. On the plus side he was very tolerant of the others - regularly finding himself at the bottom of a rat pile or acting as a comfy pillow.

He was a a real foodie - never one to turn down the opportunity to try something new and as a result he was the biggest rat we've had at an impressive 840g!

Much loved and now much missed our old man is now resting beside his brother - just like old times.

Don't pick me up!

James looks concerned I might remove him from his comfy bed.

Greeting Human!

Tiberus is by far the most social of our current rats. His usual trick is to come to the cage door, stretch against the bars and yawn. As soon as we open the door he's heading out, and if we don't pay attention that means climbing up the site and on to the roof!
