A family member is moving and has therefore gifted us with rats. Four healthy males: Chewbacca, Horatio, Ratzilla and Bob. Oddly, there is no Bill, even though the family has a long tradition of rats named Bill: Mister Bill, Dollar Bill, Three-Dollar Bill, Food Bill (a large one), &c. They're all friendly and well-socialized, accustomed to crawling back and forth across people's shoulders. Kathe and I have made friends with them and they are now settled into our house and our shoulders.
We may or may not also be receiving the former owner's last rat, a female named Mrs. B. She has been and will be housed apart from the males, in order to ensure that this gift does not keep on giving.
