Wowzers... I love my rat. She's already taken 2 lab blocks from me and eaten exactly half of them. She's explored the sleeve of my fleece, and it's quite interesting to feel a baby rat crawling up your arm under your shirt. And she seems to be sleeping there right now. She tried out the rodent wheel, but seemed a little unsure of it and thus took an interest in me. Right now the mouse is grooming itself, but I'll get to the mouse soon, that is, if I can ever get my baby rat outta my sleeve. Heh, gotta be careful I don't move my arm much or she'd be stuck. Oy she tickles! And nibbles on my fingers, but you almost can't feel her. Ahhh she's near my armpit. OMG I'm trying not to laugh right now... God she tickles!!! Okay... got her out of my sleeve. Uh oh... she left a grand total of 5 drops of pee in my sleeve. And 2 tiny presents. So I cleaned those up and put her back in her cage, I need to potty train her.
Gosh she's cute. Hmm. Just put the shavings in her habitat... and set it up all pretty. The waterer gave me a run for my money because there's no wire to suspend it from... but using a paperclip, a hair tie, and a shoelace, I have it suspended within her reach. Booyah! Heh, in her cage is a silent wheel, a rat housie thingy, a chew stick, her waterer, a toilet paper roll, and her food dish plus shavings. The mouse habitat now has two flower pots (I made door ways in them so the mouse could walk into them and climb on top of them), a food dish, a waterer, and a chew stick, again all over shavings. I took the mouse out, and it's hard to keep ahold of her. Gosh... lol. She can jump, climb, and RUN. Alas, she was unable to escape out of my hands, so she was unable to lose me. She keeps climbing on her flowerpot house and checking out the plastic roof to her aquarium thingy. Oh, and she just discovered the peanut I left her. Heh, it's almost as big as she is. And I noticed the fur behind her ears is tan, and her underside seems to have beige brindling over what looks like a black pelt. Her feet are mottled with light pigmentation, and her tail is pigmented except for the last quarter of it, which also contains a dark spot. I wonder what color she really is?
I swear both the rat and mouse are OCD about water. And grooming. It's cute... but... I'm supposed to sleep instead of watching them. Speaking of which, time to hide them again... in a draft-free, warm-enough, naturally lighted (during the day) area that my mom shouldn't be able to hear them in. Did I mention that Gen and Shanan are placing bets about how long it'll take my mom to find my pets? Gen says a week, Shanan says 2 weeks, and Dave hasn't decided yet. Oh, and look in the obituaries daily, if I'm in there, it'll be because my mom found them. So quoth Gen in her actual wisdom. THANK YOU SHANAN FOR GIVING ME THE RODENTS I LOVE BEING THEIR OWNER. They're knawing on the pine shavings... :-/ Oh, and Shanan, I need you to be my sleuth to help me figure important stuff out... Gen mentioned something that's totally possible and somewhat probable and it's kinda scary. Now I dread college... speaking of which a lot of deadlines are soon and I'm missing them. I'm scared now, why the heck did I end up with a crappy guidance counselor?
