Homemade Peanut Rat Treats!

Okay, I know neither me, nor Marin have done a post in a while, and we're sorry. Schoolwork and other things are taking up a lot of time and we have less time to write.

Mini Peanut butter treats!

Materials:

Peanut Butter

Almond Milk (unsweetened) 

Piping Bag

Star tip (optional)

Ground up almond (optional)

Freezer

Wax Paper

Directions:

In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, and almond milk. I did not give a specific amount, because it really varies on how much you need to make and your preferred consistency. When you have added the proper amount of almond milk, the peanut butter should be the texture of thick pudding. If you would like, you could add some crushed up almond into the bowl, your rats will love you either way.

        After you have thoroughly mixed the ingredients, scoop the peanut butter\ almond milk into a pastry bag. If you are like me, and you need everything to look cute, use a pretty star tip with the pastry bag. Lay out a sheet of wax paper and using the piping bag, make little drops of the mixture about a quarter of an inch apart. Note that the treats should not be made too big, because rats can only have so much peanut butter.

 After you are done, put the wax paper in the freezer and let the treats freeze overnight. When the treats are frozen, serve one or two to your rats. Make sure to leave the treats in the freezer if not being consumed by your rat. Do not give the rats a treat if it is slightly melty, only serve if frozen.

I hope you (and your rats) enjoy this recipe!

Walnut and corn crumble for the rats :-)

Hey guys!
So I've been playing around lately, and I've come up with a recipie that I suppose could be a rat sized walnut and corn pie.
This recipie is favored among my rats. I hope your rat love it as well.:-)
By the way, the crumbles have a crumbly texture, do not expect a perfect crumble xd
This recipie makes two small pie crumbles.

Ingredients


1/2 cup of crushed plain cheerios  (Finley crushed)

2 TBS of water

Tin foil

40 kernels of crushed dried corn (roughly crushed)

1/4 cup (for pie plate mould)

A little more than 1 TBS of chopped walnuts

2 1/2   tsp of grape juice

1 TBS of water

For the crust:

In a small bowl, combine the crushed cheerios, with
The 2 TBS of water mix well, the mixture should be a moist spongey
Texture.
               Take the 1/4 cup and tinfoil. Make a thick square with the tinfoil, and
Set it evenly on top of the 1/4 cup and press down. Firmly press the edges into the cup, until the tinfoil resembles the shape of the cup. Do this twice.
Scoop  the crust into the tins and push it in to the bottom and sides.

For the filling
Take walnuts and grape juice then crunch together, add some water and a few extra  ground Cheerios to the mix. Scoop into the pie plates.
Cook for 12-14 minutes at 350 ˚
Remember people this food is for rats, not humans they don't expect it to look beautiful. So you shouldn't either.
Cut up in to tiny ( and I mean tiny) pieces, serve to your rats (I suggest one small slice per day) make sure you let the pie cool before serving.

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,

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

Clara's Rats

 Hey! I know i've already done a  "Meet Clara's Rats" but, it had bad photos, and I've updated my nicknames for my rats….. (:

Goes to bed, Very very very… *yawn .. very late…… I could go on forever…. She is the youngest of the three…. 
btw the second photo of trixie is when she is a baby..

..Bella..

Aka, Belly, Bell, Queen Fluff, Mommy (Speaking to Trixie)

Notes: Bella is very calm, less curious than her daughter, and she has a white stripe on her stomach, she is almost identical to her daughter, her stomach stripe  and their sizes tells them apart… I can tell them apart from how they act..    Her adopted sister is Pippa.

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
