Update!
The rats all got new things recently!
The other day they all got a cat crinkle tunnel (just a small one to see if they liked it) and I also got a cat waggle toy, with lots of feathers on it! They LOVE them! I love playing with my girls, its something I cant really do with hamsters, rabbits or guinea pigs, but with rats they really interact and play which is so rewarding and fun to see. Today I also went to petsathome (again!) and got them all some more things to sleep in. Plastic igloo type things as the hammocks start to smell after a few days, get ripped to shreds and when I want to wash them in the washing machine, dad complains. So hopefully, if I provide them with scraps of fleece as nesting material, they will love these new houses!
Faye is getting so big now! She has lost all her baby fur and has her full adult coat in now! She looks identical to Roxi did (apart from the chunk taken out of her ear of course!) and she looks beautiful. I have a massive soft spot for Siamese rats! Especially dumbos! She is very brave too, and very sociable.
Faye has now met every single one of my rats, and so far, its going really well! Going to keep up with the introductions for the next few days and then hopefully this time next week they will all be housed together! She seemed to love having loads of rats to interact with, it was lovely to see Echo accepting her too. Ebby and Elsie were a bit more hesitant, a few scuffles here and there but nothing major! I cant wait for the day when they are all in the same cage all together, I miss having 8 rats greeting me at the cage door!
Photos of them with their tunnel plus introduction photos!

Pretty Elsie
Faye-all grown up! No more sandy colour, just an off white colour, with brown points!
Erin and Echo (I love Erin's screwed up face in this!)
I don't know which rat is on their back, its either Roo or Robyn!

Robyn, Erin, Faye, Echo, Elsie and Roo (Ebby and Evie were up the other end playing in the tunnel!)
Oh look, Faye is 'hugging' Elsie!
Faye!
Faye stole Echo's food, and amazingly Echo didnt react!
Re: My rattie thread
. I'm so sorry about Rosie, I'm glad you got to be with her in her last moments. Never let anyone tell you that you shouldn't be absolutely heartbroken. Our little furry bundles touch a part of us that human's never can and their time with us is precious. Rosie seems like she was a big sweetie, let your other girls give you lots of cuddles and know you gave her the best life. *hugs*
