I have recently welcomed a new addition to my mischief, Ro. She was adopted from a pet shop (terrible of me, but I couldn't help it!) after I watched her over the week all by herself in the cage. I brought her home and I'm glad for it :)

She has a beautiful temperament and a lovely coat. I believe she's a Cinnamon Rex (as if I needed more Cinnamon babies... haha). She was accepted fairly quickly by the other girls, and now happily snuggles with them.

I introduced them by placing them all in a neutral area (the couch) and allowing them to interact. After half an hour it was going really well, and seeing as my girls are often happy to share space with any old random rat in their cage, I put them all in there to watch their behaviour. Dax couldn't care less and Kiri adopted her as her own, but Ezri wasn't a fan of sharing space with Ro. So, Kiri and Ro went into the travel cage for the night to be re-introduced the next morning, which went really well, and every one's been happy since.

Welcome home, Ro!

Good news!

Well, sort of. Nimh has a myco flare-up right now, so she's on a course of Batryil until she gets better. The vet visit was good, however I'm sure Nimh didn't feel the same way (needle in the backside, thermometer in the rear oriface... ouch!). She was already showing a huge improvement by the afternoon. We also got her a bit of dark chocolate too... that we can share... heehee.
