I woke up this morning and he was just out there, sniffing around, doing his business. He's so well behaved I don't have to worry about him eating walls or hiding under the fridge. It's like having a tiny dog. I love baby rats but they are so mischievous when I just want peace.
Photo of Simon sniffing around a small corridor. The floor is made of large brown tile. The walls are white.

The vet shaved the hair around his tumor, it looks so much worse now.
Photo of Simon's rear, where a big tumor can be seen on his right leg. Simon is a Siamese pet rat.

Photo of a gray rat, Douceur, with a white lightning pattern on his face. He's looking out from under a blue towel, draped over an ikea scarf hanger, from where the rat is hiding. Behind we can see a black rgb keyboard. The rat is looking at the left side of the photo. Photo taken in 2020, Douceur was still a small baby back then, barely 2-3 months old.

He eventually found what he was searching for and went home with his crackers.

Sinon has decided to do a little bit of exploration for the first time in weeks.

Nothing will come between Simon and his treats not even his hammock.

I will pay the urgent fee and go monday 😔 (they only see rats monday/tuesday). I don't want to risk him being in pain, I couldn't forgive myself. I will consider it a Christmas present for the vet, to be able to see this magnificent old man
Photo of Simon sleeping on his back in his hsmmock, his little feet up in the air.

If he wasn't sleeping so peacefully I would have done it. I love their little feet

I've replaced my dish cloth with a hairy countertop roomba. Does an amazing job.

Never enough beds
#RatsOfBluesky
Photo of a brown pet rat named Flash, hiding in a small gray cat bed, with another similar bed on top of him. Behind him is his litter, also covered by the bed. We can see half of him, he's looking directly at the camera. This setup is on top of his cage, a critter nation. Photo taken in 2021.

We have a huge shortage of vet in my area. My little lumpy rat will have to wait a month to have his rdv, unless I pay hundreds of $ for an urgent visit 😔
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon, getting some pet by me while in his hammock. His eyes are closed in appreciation.

Photo of a dark brown pet rat named Klaus, eating a muffin while hiding under a Kleenex. Same as the previous photo, except Klaus is hiding more under the tissue, making him look like he's wearing a nun hat.

When your mom asks you to bring home a cabbage not too big, not too small and you just spend 10 minutes comparing size at the grocery, looking crazy and indecisive.
Photo of two cabbages in a shopping basket, resting on top of lettuce and a bag of carrots. Both cabbages look close in size but one is slightly bigger.

Monday is a good day to be hiding from the world.
#RatsOfBluesky
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon, hiding in his beige hammock. The hammock has a flap on top of it where Simon can sleep, like a bed with a blanket.

"Treats?"
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon, looking out of his beige hammock to see if I'm bringing him treats. Sadly for him, he got eyes drops instead.

Hate working from home and having rats. I should be working but...Simon in a santa hat 🥺.

I just want to be with him, comfy and warm, with a giant human hand petting me.
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon, relaxing in his beige halloween themed hammock (black cat and pumpkin). His eyes are half closed, he has no care in the world.

Took him two weeks but Simon finally got over his vet trauma and started exploring again. I thought he had decided to be a forever potato. The heart on his head is just my way to bother him when he eats.
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon eating granola with a small flat wooden heart on his head. I like to stack things on him when he's busy. Same as the previous photo but he's eating more like a little gremlin, all round and hunched over.

Here he is, a few minutes after his "death", looking to see if I have any food. I assume he's still salty about the vet last week.

Tried to pet Simon only for him to immediately flop on his back and faked being dead. I'm both offended and charmed🥺.
Photo of a Siamese pet rat named Simon, faking to be asleep on his back, with his tail covered his face. He was up and running 1.2 seconds before the photo. Big drama queen.

The Kim Kardashian of rat.
Photo of a brown pet rat named Flash, eating in a weird position with his legs stretched wide making his back and ass stand out.

Went to a few places this morning to get all the minifig (also messed up and bought one too much). I can finally have my spider army.

Doing your best and failing to fit in 😔
Photo of a dark brown pet rat named Klaus, trying to fit through a small opening in a cardboard box. He's stuck with only his rear visible. Photo taken 2024.

Randomly had a blackout, which my mom hates so I put some light for her to do lego. I'm quite bored 😔
Photo of a table with a few lego pieces on it, in front of a tablet with lego building instructions. There's a candle providing some light. Outside of the frame, a flashlight helps see the pieces better.
