Elektra is one happy active bean again 🩷 So good to see she managed the surgery so well.

Two rats looking over a cage bar. One is almost falling over it, the other one is looking more politely into the camera.

God yes, I also replaced all mine with tinier one after a girl in a rat group told us she found her rat dead in one of those shower curtain ring she used for hammock. I could never forgive myself.

I had a rat who got his feet stuck in a ramp. He never walked straight after. I cover them all now 😔. Mistake learned the hard way.

I don’t like to nag bc it’s not anyone’s fault the cages marketed to them are unsuitable, but please please please cover wire surfaces and consider removing wire ramps in your cages! The 1st causes bumble foot which is very painful, the 2nd entrapment and amputations!

He's over two and still not potty trained. Time to fix that 😮‍💨.

Slightly blurry photo of Simon in the toy toilet. He doesn't want to be there and is ready to bolt (which he did seconds after the photo was taken).

Simon wasn't feeling very energetic today. Stayed holed up and refused to get out.

But as always, the call for food was stronger and he moved his weary bones up the dollhouse for some granola.

Simon is still snacking, all round and fat because all he does is eat and eat. He's training to beat the world record of the most obese fancy rat.

Your right. I do wish they would learn to control their own environment and leave other people to decide for themselves. By constantly policing fandom space, they will just kill them or drive fans into hiding.

I have to assume most anti in the Hades fandom are young teenagers with no knowledge of Greek mythology. I can't bear to think so many people are that dumb.

This isn’t a focus in the Discourse because the loudest voices with the biggest platforms are people who have never worried about their next meal. I’ve needed SNAP; I’ve used SNAP; I’ve lost it when it mattered. This is going to be a wave of mass starvation beyond living memory in this country.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Had to spend the night surrounded by tesla fanboys (who knows how awful Musk is and just don't care). Such a long evening. Glad to be back home with my gremlin

Meridah Nandudu was a single mom of two kids, unemployed and in despair. Then she had an idea: Maybe the "humble" coffee beans she'd grown up with on her parents' farm could lead her to a better life.

For years, men controlled one village's coffee industry — but one woman changed that

I also get awful nausea with iron pill 🤢. When I told the nurse about it she asked if I take them everyday. I did not, which is apparently a possible cause. Once I did, the nausea got away after a few days. I also feel a lot better if I take it before bed rather than in the morning.

Extra crunchy chicken.

The red stuff around his eye is called porphyrin, it's a normal compound in rat tears that makes them red. Little man just has some eye boogies, it's not blood.

My dr prescribed sinus rinse with cortisone to help with my sinusitis.

I tried it for the first time. How is drowning myself supposed to help 😭. I was not made to be an aquatic creature.

(In all seriousness, while it did help with breathing, it gave me a terrible headache, so I'm not 100% sold)

#RatoftheWeek is little Dusty.
He was rehomed with us after losing his cagemate to illness. Dusty was initially wary of humans, but after some careful bonding & work on his confidence, he's now a happy, cuddly chap. He's faced down challenges including surgery for an infected testicle & is thriving😍

A white rat with black eyes dots up in his owner's hand to eat a treat, which he is holding up in both front paws. His back feet are in the air

The same white rat is curled up in a hammock, wrapped into a neat little ball. A black and white rat is curled around him, being the big spoon. They look very relaxed together.
