Well you know what they say about famous last words.
Both the Mum and I really felt the loss of Gilbert the last rat, and the Rat Palace had been tidied away. The house just wasn’t the same…
So…I arrived home from work to discover…

Namely, nine week old MacDonald, Wilberforce and Cuthbert. Obviously the Mum was weaker than I, and went in search of them. There was supposed to be only two left, but one had hidden himself in the pipe.
Baby ratties could warm even the coldest of hearts.



Which Grand Duchess Would YOU Be?
Aww they are so sweet. I thought it was new ratties when I saw the title! Happy Christmas
Thank you – they are rather gorgeous aren’t they?! Happy Christmas to you to!
Beautiful! What a nice surprise that must have been. Have a very Merry Christmas, Alison!
Lovely!
And they’re named after…?
Oh, family joke!
