Wow, that is very cool!

Both rats are cool, and both look the same. Very creative!

Wow! Love both your hairless ratties! bear_wub

Glad to see someone else who likes the pet rats. They are awesome, huh? I have two fancy rats (with hair!) named Annie and Betsy. Annie is named after my grandma, who really, really dislikes rodents of any kind. It started out as a joke, but Grandma is proud to announce now that she has a namesake! bear_grin

thank you so much! bear_grin I am having fun with this project!

Tracy, ratties are delightful aren't they! I have 6 right now & never would
have guessed there could be so much love in such tiny critters.
You might enjoy this rat forum, people are so cool, & the chat folks
are really nice. I'm 'redslurpee' on there bear_original

lol & Georgie's lack of hair is genetic - it doesn't affect him at
all except he has a bit of a faster metabolism to produce more
body heat. So he eats & drinks more. & feels like a suede hot
water bottle. lol

thanks!
