Snow + Peas + Ratties = Cold Noses!

[Amethyst_ice]

As the title says, I now have a wet sofa!!

I got to sample cold toes and nose when they decided to warm up inside my top!

I was thinking of doing the same for Bear but i think he would just pouch snow!

Awww, really cute!
Looks like they had a lot of fun :)

[Jandrhamster]

Is snow alright for hams then? i know they're rats and theyre gorgeous btw

[RachK]

I still think its such a shame that our hammies can't live like this. It would be so much fun & a lot easier too at playtime, all out in one go!
Fab pictures. :)

[Amethyst_ice]

Indeed, i'll have to remember when seth comes home and i take in alasdair..when i pick bear up i nearly drop him as i forget how light he is! One cage and all out together for play time certainly makes it easier on time and cage cleaning, hence why when people go..wow 5 rats??!!! I say yes but not as much work as 5 hamsters!

Snow would be ok for hammies but not sure they would find it as enjoyable, could try a bit on a tea spoon perhaps :)

[souffle]

The ratties look very excited by the new cold experience. They are such inquizative critters I'm sure they enjoyed this. Love the black ones face!

[KatiePillow]

I'm so jealous - I really envy the inquisitiveness and intelligence of rats.. if only they came in dwarf size!!

They're all looking great though :) and glad they enjoyed the snow

[Amethyst_ice]

Thank you, not sure if i mentioned but Remy has a permanent head tilt due to an ear infection, I rushed him to the vets new years day and did everythign i couldv'e but he must have had it over christmas. You can see his tilted head behind dodger (the blck one) still love him though.

They needed the peas as encouragement to go near the snow, kept running back to me almost for reassurance :)

[Humphrey Furball]

Hehe looks like they enjoyed it! Makes me cold just watching them

[Hope]

Aww bless them!!! They are so cute, looks like they had lots of fun! :)

[LoveMyHams]

Awww so cute! I want some ratites now! Also, my parents had that couch when I was little.

[Amethyst_ice]

haha i used to have it covered with a purple throw but ratties liked to bury under it!

[happysaz133]

They are adorable! :)

You can get dwarf rats, they're about a third the size of normal rats.

[Amethyst_ice]

dwarf rats?? are they standardised?????

[fluffymunchkins]

Wouldn't a dwarf rat be...a mouse :mad: Though I hope I'm wrong!

[Amethyst_ice]

ratties come in all sizes, stitch is 700g and dodger 300g with a month between..perhaps the smaller of litters being bred?

[Lynternette]

I love the first picture where its sort of, I want to come and look but I'm a little bit scared.

[Amethyst_ice]

hehe yes they were a bit unsure at first but once they saw the others running away with peas their tummies got the better of them!
