Lovely photos once again Katherine, they look so cuddly, happy and content, Steve

They are absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful ratties! What do you mean that they are 'on loan' to you? I'm an equestrian and I know horses go on loan a lot because they are very expensive animals, but why a rat? Excuse my ignorance- just confused! x

Switch and Forz are my boys, bred by Kyra of Atlas Stud, out of two rats she had from us They came here for breeding, but for one reason and another we never did breed from them (which I now regret - but hey ho). Katherine had a lone boy from us, Monty, whose cagemates had passed away, and he was lonely and too frail to have bouncy kittens. Soooo when she was still living here, I loaned her Forz and Switch because they are older, and really soppy and laid back lads. They got on great with Monty - and it was all going well - then Katherine had to move to the UK, and then Monty passed away sooo... Katherine still has these lads. We can have them back whenever we want, and I miss them so much it makes me ache sometimes... but they are settled and happy with her, and she can give them much more one on one than we can, because of how many rats we have, so they're better off with her anyway. Besides, they're getting on, and it's not fair to move them around this late on in life. It'd probably be OK, but if they're happy, why shift them? Sooo... they're still on loan to Katherine, but realistically, they're "her" boys now.

Ah I see! I understand now. Yes I can see that you must miss them terrible. And it was very kind of you to lend Katherine your boys so her guy wouldn't be lonely! But it must be nice to see the pics and how well they're doing. xx

Swoon!gorgeous gorgeous friendly boys

OMG! He looks just like my old boy Frodo!

He looks like my boy Algy too (not really surprising as I think Algy was his uncle), it makes me do a little double take every time.

I'm trying to think of the relation to Frodo Lew... he'd be...

great great great great uncle!

That would definitely explain it.
