Donald's first day in his new home!

Hello everyone, Donald the rat has arrived!

He's a beauty, very nervous at first though which wasn't helped by a 40 minute plus drive home from where he was picked up from. However, it didn't take long at all until he started to feel at home...

He started to tuck into some whole grain cracker which helped to break the ice a little bit. As you can see he thoroughly enjoyed it!

After the long drive I started to feel rather fatigued meaning I needed a bit of bed rest. The new adoptee had already been sat on my knee for a while but I couldn't leave him on his own so he came up with me. I placed his cage in a safe place but he wasn't satisfied, he wanted to come out again. I gave in and let him roam about on the bed where he stayed for a couple of hours. He had no accidents either although he's proving to be a bit of a handful.

 He started to bite the cuff of a new hooded top of mine after several goes of giving me some rodentistry.

He then did something that no other rat of mine has ever done, remove the letter G from my keyboard. Not only that, he also tried to run off with it in his mouth. He didn't get far and in the end I managed to get it back on, it took a while though!

Now I like my rats to be well behaved, in moderation of course. However, I sometimes have to be firm with them and tell them when they're going that little bit too far. Donald didn't take too kindly to this and went off in a bit of a sulk.

He settled down for a nap but made sure he was as far away from me as possible.

We've made up now, I'll let him off as I think he's just been very excitable today. I do feel as though Donald is starting to form a very unhealthy obsession with me which is why I'm getting some friends for him. I'll be sure to post an update when they arrive, I'm thinking pretty soon!

I hope I can manage to get a good nights sleep tonight knowing Donald's eyes will be fixated on me. I've given him enough nuggets to prepare for a nuclear war so that should keep his mind occupied for a bit!

See you all very soon,

Barry
