Midnight

Hello,

Last night my Midnight passed away in my arms. Strike three for Petco. I hope Midnight is peaceful now, and I was happy to be taking them out right out at the moment she needed me the most, to comfort her and tell her it's okay.

I miss Midnight, and today I'm going to be shopping for a rat-sized teddy bear for Lilac to love on, I won't be getting her an adopted sissy. I just hope that Lilac likes the teddy bear as much as Midnight.


XOXO

THE WONDERS OF RATS

Honestly...
Writing this one will be no sweat, I have a lot of things bursting in my mind about how amazing rats are, BUT, I don't want to be sitting here for eternity.

So first of all,

Rats are amazing, adorable, smart, sweet, cuddly animals that just want love.
The reason rats are not the most common pets are the tails. I mean, let's be honest, at first the tails look a little creepy, and this might sound creepy and weird, but their tails really have a lot of personality.

Once you get a rat, I swear, you will forget about the tails and think that the tails are a little piece of heaven. (They are.)

Rats, where do I start? Rats sit on your shoulder and watch T.V. with you. Rats come when their called. Rats race up to you when you walk in the door. I mean, when have you seen any other rodent do that? Rats are bursting with personality. Rats cuddle when it's rainy, takes walks with you when it's sunny. Rats will make your day.

So, guys. Please set their tails aside and look at rats. They are the sweetest and cutest. So what if it's hairless? I think hairless rats are pretty darn cute.

They are little bundles of joy, licking your faces and thanking you for a home...
So please consider rescuing likely snake food, and it's doing you a favor, too.

Hairless or not, legless or not, blind or not, rats are awesome. Pure awesome.


XOXO,

Clara and Marin's famous homestyle RAT CAKE!!!!

Yes...


It's time...
















I dare you to scroll....
















































You still there? Okay, good. I can tell your really commited to this.


The title is really self explanatory. 
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Peanut Butter
Water
Teaspoon
A tiny bowl
A tiny bit of cheese for presentation (My rats adore cheese, (It's Marin) (Parentheses within parentheses within parentheses?) it's okay if your rats don't eat it, just don't put too much or they will get a tummyache)
A basil leaf for even more presentation
A microwave
Rats







































You're still there... I'm really proud. :D

So how do you make it?

I know.

You don't.

Haha.

You know?

I'll tell you.

Just don't tell anyone.

Okay?

Wait...

Tell them,

About RandomlyRats

Okay?

Good.

How do you make it?

I know.

You don't.

But I guess I'll tell.











Put 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter in the tiny bowl.
If it gets too thick, add a teaspoon of water and mix gently.
Continue to add water.
Crumple and add reasonable proportions of things your rat might like. (Like crunched up cheerios or peanuts, nothing to junky.)
Add more peanut butter.
Heat in the microwave for 1 minute.
Stir, and add some cheese or something.
Put in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Put cheese in the corner as neatly as you can, this is for presentation.
Get a pretty basil leaf and gently top it on the cheese.
Put it in the fridge for about an hour.
Feast.

XOXO

Where do I get a rat?

NOW, FOR THE BIGGEST QUESTION OF ALL.....

WHERE DO I GET MY RAT?

Do not get your rats from Petco, Petsmart, etc. Why? They die. TRAGIC. I made the mistake, twice.... *Looks out into the distance*  Let's get to the bottom of this. They die. The breeding conditions are poor, the handling is poor, they won't make it. Any type of illness or disease. I had gotten two rats, Luci and Cheese. Cheese died a couple of days later. So we got Midnight from the same place. Luci died. So we got Lilac, but from a person who couldn't keep her anymore. So,  two out of three rats died. Death is TRAGIC. TRAGIC, I TELL YOU! *Sniffle.*

(Whenever I imagine a ratty angel, I imagine a bat. Huh.)


PLEASE get your rats from a breeder no matter how far away it is. Nine hours? 30 minutes? It's worth it. PLEASE make sure that the breeder is extra safe for any reason. Other option; search on craigslist or something like that for some responsible person that needs to give away his/her two rats that he/she got from a breeder. (For reasons like: "I'm allergic to the rats" Or "I can't take care of them anymore, I'm moving or my dog wants to eat them.")



XOXO
