The Whiskery Rats

Hi guys, I thought instead of publishing a seperate post for each rat, mouse or gerbil, I'd do them one species per post, less work for me ;) I will still do individual posts for each critter over the course of this blog, but for now ...

The Whiskery Rats

Molly, a mink hoodie, one of my old pet shop Does, born aprox 6th November 2007, named after my maternal grandmother. Molly has a large mammary tumor, and is enjoying her last weeks being spoilt rotten ;)
Molly in her youth
