I couldn't get the elusive Sky
This one is Curi.
This one is Spearhead [or just Spear].
These two are the primary troublemakers. They're really probably the biggest bRats ever. They're cool though. Curi is hilarious she has test EVERYTHING. If there's anything she can get into she'll get into it because she has to. It's like her job. We found her at the bottom of the garbage in the bathroom wastebasket. It's mesh so you can see everything that's in there including the occasional rat. They're pretty sweet. Not terribly high maintenance they don't really smell that bad. They smell a little these days because I've been slacking in the litterbox department so they're pooping elsewhere in the cage. Typically they don't have a smell at all though. They're very good at keeping themselves clean too. They're like cats they groom themselves every 20 minutes just about. I'm thinking of getting them a ferret cage at some point. The cage they have now is a little tight for just three rats and a ferret cage has multiple levels and other fun stuff. It would be one thing if it was two of them but three...yeah, they need more room. It's like having three adults live in a 600 sq. ft. studio apartment.
They're so smart! Curi is a nut but she learns pretty fast. She's not afraid of us at all anymore. Spear still jumps sometimes if we move too fast or make a sudden noise. Sky...you look at her and she runs back into her tissue box. The training part is pretty fun. It all comes down to a treat they really really like. If they love the treat they'll be easy to train. Otherwise, you're pretty much trying to bribe someone with Monopoly money.
We let them run around the apartment now. It's pretty cool to be watching TV and out of nowhere finding a rat on your shoulder.
SO COOL!
