I got Stinky, 7-29-98'.
She is Black, Grey, and White. The black and grey make up the "hooded" part od her, then she is white with grey spots all over her. So I suppose she is a Salt n' Pepper hooded rat!
Stinky is around 8 months old now.
Stinky is a VERY hyper little girl. She likes to play "acrobat" all over her cage. Jumping from one end to the other, on her water bottle, hanging from her back legs on the top, and like every other Rat, using her tail for ballance. Only, Stinky makes it look like she's trying to be a propeller-butt. *grin*
Stinky snuggles up to Cookie Marie at night, and plays during the day. She just loves to climb all over my arms, thinking that she'll find something else to jump onto as well.
Stinky's favorite food seems to be her Peanuts that come with her Small Animal Mix. They are always the first thing to go, or so i have noticed! And when she is done eating her peanuts, she climbs into her food bowl, lies on her tummy, and eats all the other goodies that come in her food mix.
Unlike Cookie Marie, and most female rats for that matter, she never hides her food, and never knocks over her food bowl. Infact, sometimes she just sits in it for an hour or two, while apparently deciding what she should do next!
Sometimes she'll grab ahold of the toilet paper rolls that I put in there, and start swinging them around, occasionally hitting Cookie Marie with them. This is another reason why my two little girls get in fights sometimes. :) |
