@Queen of Trash: my mom keeps trying to teach her dog tricks and it’s such an idiot.
I mean, it’s brain is larger than a whole rat, but it sure is a lot dumber than one.

@Llama: these are already all drawn so they won’t. But it’s an idea!

@Llama: I actually started going to the cafe everyday because when I lived at home my dad would... well basically harass me if I was home. Every moment I wasn’t at school or work he was asking why I wasn’t working and lecturing me about getting a better job and moving out.

Anyway, I started making up fake classes and work days and spending every second at the cafe if I had free time. I just hated being home so much.

@Queen of Trash: one of the great things about rats is that they are smart enough to go to the bathroom NOT in the middle of a play area. So many animals just don’t care or aren’t smart enough to think about it. Rats are just cleaner that other animals.

@Llama: that’s a great name!
And he continues to have a blue belly so it works.

Although I guess i could make the belly get lighter or darker as they age...

@Queen of Trash: that sounds like a lot of fun!

My brother has turned his guest room into a ferret room. It took him a while to get the whole room ferret safe, it’s basically just covered in a tarp. But it’s nice they have a lot of room to run around and play.

@Llama: congrats!!

@Llama: I have social anxiety, but no one pays any attention to you if you have a laptop and headphones.
Sometimes people ask me what I’m doing because I have a drawing pen and stuff, but it’s rare and I can always pretend I don’t hear them.

@Llama: I seriously don’t do anything unless I force myself to.
That’s why I go to the cafe, it helps motivate me!

@Queen of Trash: do they have good personalities?
Around here pet stores only carry female pet rats, male rats are all feeder rats. (Bred for feeding to snakes) so they aren’t born into a pet environment and tend to be aggressive.

Do you train your rats at all?
My sister always had hers litter trained so they could wander the house without worry about them needing to pee or anything. But I don’t know if that’s normal or if she’s just intense. XD

@Llama: it does take a lot of practice!
I also watch videos or streams of people drawing sometimes and it can help me pick up tips.

They are both super adorable!!

@Queen of Trash: you have a mix of boy and girl?
I’ve only ever had female rats.

@Queen of Trash: what kind/coloring of rats do you have?
