Bug.

i love her little handss i cant get over it

-X-

Wow, amazing....!

I see some little finger nails. aaw =)

omg, adorable..

I'm loving the fact that I've changed a few peoples opinions about rats with my photos of Bug. Rats are such lovely animals, they're so misunderstood. I have had three rats all in all, and each one has been totally different. Bug thinks she's human, I'm sure of it. She acts like a baby and I treat her like mine. In my opinion, they're just as good pets as cats and dogs.

Oh my goodness.
I will admit I've been skeptical about the idea of rats as pets before, but honestly this little one is so adorable, I stand corrected.
I wish my cats were this cute.

I cannot show this to my 12yodd... she is an animal lover. She'd want to get a rat in a heart beat. As if her mouse and hermit crab are not enough.

Nic Temby says:

So agree with you! I have two ratties myself and they are not like the stereotypical rats people think of whenever they hear "rat." I've actually changed my friends and family's opinions of rats after introducing them or showing them pics of my girls. Such misunderstood creatures.

She is not An Angel says:

Awww so adorable. I looove rats as well. I’ve had rats off and on for about fifteen years. They're very intelligent and sociable creatures. You'll find people that dislike them, don't know much about them. Once again, wonderful photo!

(My little Arwen just past away a few weeks ago :[ So, I'm taking a break for awhile. I had her for four years. So, it is a little tougher when I've had them long like her.) ♥

Ro Cmn says:

Oh gosh. Too adorable. It makes me miss my mouse I had when I was young. Nosy used to ride in my pocket, holding onto the edge, nose to the wind, when I biked, and used to stay in back of my neck, behind my long hair. It would startle--to say the least--people when he'd poke his head out between my locks to see what was up.

Good on you, for giving a positive boost to these much-maligned animals.
