Corbin's pets

My dear sweet April died of a mammary tumor in late March. About six week later Tony started having seizures and stopped eating. It was the hardest time I've ever had, having to bring my girls to the vet to be put out of their pain two times in two months! Here are some pictures of April and Tony. I will never forget them.

After April died, I got two little boy rats. Tragically one of them died of pneumonia shortly after we brought them home. With some antibiotics, though the other little boy is still alive today. His name is Isaiah (His brother who didn't survive was named Sprite.) He has the same markings April and Tony had. He loves being with me, and is also quite the jumper!

After Tony died I got two more boy rats to be with Isaiah. They are named Spot and Louise. Spot is grey with a white belly and Louise is a partial albino. Even though they are younger than Isaiah, they are both bigger! Spot is rather chunky. He gets along with everyone. Louise is really muscular. He is a bit scared of being picked up, but he trusts me now. He is going to be a big boy! Here are some pictures of my three boys:

I love when rats clean themselves! It is so cute! Here is Louise cleaning:

Here is Louise eating a cheerio. (I sometimes give them some for a treat.)

Here are a couple pictures of Spot. He likes the camera!

I love my pets! Rats make great companions. They are smart, easy to care for, and a lot of fun!

My grandpa got me my very own camera, so I can take lots of pictures now! Here are some favorites of my boys:
