We have ideas for playing party games in the morning. Then they can play in their digging box we plan on making. After the digging box fun they can go swimming, then we’ll have rattie cake and open presents. Finally they can bust open their piñata. We will be doing some other fun stuff too. They only have a few birthdays so make them great ones.

Shhh, reservations dont go up until the 12th, but the boys have it on good authority that there will be new kids on the block come February! We are really excited about the litter, they are pure Fraggle babies and for us thats a huge big deal!!! Wembley and Fergus have proven to be exceptional, loving and wonderful little fellas. Vroo is proving himself the same everyday! He is a sweet little boy and is an amazing little guy as well. Well they are Azure Ridge Rats and that’s saying something special. Valerie breeds some interesting characters up there in Elmira, little people in fur is what we all call them.

Ahhh well, stay tuned for updates and pictures!!!!

Rat piles are so cute! This morning all three boys were piled up and asleep. I woke Fergus up just to see that sleepy rat face! LOL. He is my favorite… there I said it!!! Yes, he is the one rat of the three that always comes when I ask him to and will sit and listen even when he doesn’t want to hear my whining. He has grown up into a handsome boy and I adore his personality, serious as it may be at times. Although he does like to act out at times and be silly with his brother and nephew, Fergus is quite the character and lots of fun to have around.

Vroo has settled in with the uncles…well sort of.

Vroo is a constant stream of busy and rarely leaves his uncles alone long enough to nap as they would like. I have yet to meet a rat as busy and nosey as this kid is! Fergus has decided he is a hassle and prefers to leave things alone as much as possible. They make me laugh with their antics and constant back and forth. I can’t wait to see how this trio develops as Vroo grows older.

The season is upon us and we’re blessed with what we have. We have two new boys to bring us joy and they’re really special babies. I’m personally happy that I have Meef with us and know that Anita and Adrienne are happy to have Vroo.

Everyone is settled in with everyone in their big cages now, although I’m still migrating my big boys into a cage with Meef–I didn’t want to unsettle him too much at first with the big boys of Odin, Chin-Po and Mushu at once. These three are pushing or over 500 grams in weight. So I have Chin-Po in with Meef for now in a spare large cage I had and they seem to be great pals so far. I didn’t expect anything differently, to be honest since Chin-Po is a really laid back boy.

In fact, most of my boys are fairly laid back. The only one that isn’t is Mushu, and it’s just spurts of bundled energy with him–racing up and down ramps for no apparent reason other than to play with some imaginary friend he must have. When he’s not playing with ghost rats, he’s all sorts of laid back though.

The only downer we’ve had is the loss of Sidebottoms. I still kick myself for not getting any pictures of her while she was with us.

I mention this simply because I have taken pictures of Meef and Vroo and put them in the gallery. I’ve also seperated the real Fraggle Rats from my rats and put them in a sub-gallery inside the Fraggle’s gallery. I think there’s some great pictures there.

I know personally that Meef is a riot. He enjoys playing tag with me–chasing my hand and zipping around under blankets and elsewhere when my hands chase him. Him and Vroo are very kissy, as well. They’re wonderful, adorable boys. Anita is quite correct in saying that rats are very much like having pets that are little people. Thanks a ton, Valerie.

I just wanted to take the time to say to everyone that I hope your holidays are filled with the same kind of joy we get from owning rats and the camradery they bring us.
