Baby ratties! I have baby ratties! I just went and adopted them this afternoon, and they're all curious and sniffy and completely confused! They're all on the couch with Fool-rat right now, who is extremely confused as to why these little guys keep sniffing at them. One of them looks so like Fitz-rat, except without the white tummy. And he's got slightly curly fur. But he's a total attention hog, and has already started beating up Fool-rat. Alas, he's not quite as goofy as Fitz-rat, as far as I know.
He makes me miss Fitz-rat a lot =(.
The little brown guy is the youngest rattie, and he is the sweetest little guy ever! He's just small and quiet and likes curling up in the corner and being scritched.
The white one is a bit of a mystery right now; he just sort of hangs out and does his thing and hasn't been exceptionally quiet or exceptionally bouncy yet. He does like to be pet though!
Some pictures of the new ratties under the cut, along with some older ones of Fitz-rat (wah!) and Fool-rat.

My dorky rat
I love my dorky rat.
Fool-rat
The rat sleeps!
Large, flat rat
Yes... he is large and flat and fat.
Fool-rat
He cleans himself

Fool-rat cleans himself some more...

And retreats from the camera, annoyed by the fact that the flash keeps going off.
Fool-rat
Hee! I never cease to be amused by the weird poses the rats get in.
Fool-rat
Still cleaning...
Fool-rat
Cleaning even more...
New baby rattie!
Ok, 3 month old rattie. He's dark brown/black all over, and a bit of a rex, so some of his fur is a little curly. He totally reminds me of Fitz-rat, not just because of the coloring, but because he's already tried to grab all the attention and beat up Fool-rat.
Baby rat!
He cleans himself! Look at his all black tummy! So cute!
Brown baby rat
He's the youngest one I got, sort of goldy-brown with a grey undertone and a white belly. He is the sweetest little guy ever! I picked him first because he kept licking me, and he's all curled up and sleeping right now.
Black and white and black-and-white rats!
One is the Fitz-rat wannabe, one is an albino rat whose personality I still haven't figured out yet, and there's poor Fool-rat.
White rat and brown rat
Sniffy! The white rattie isn't as creepy as he looks, it's just the flash making him look like a demon rat.
Little brown rat
He sniffs the laptop!
All the ratties!
Wow, I never realized how much bigger Fool-rat got. The guy with the little white tip on his tail is the brown one.
Brown guy
Poor guy! But none of them would stay still enough to take pictures. (he's curled up sleeping still as I type, and he is so cute! He sleeps on his side.)
Black rat
Black squirmy rat! He's definitely the extrovert of the bunch.
White rat
Still trying to figure this guy out...
