A hooded rat, brown and white, crouched up and nibbling on something. He's "dumbo eared" meaning his ears are unusually big and set low on his head.

   One of the funny things about #rats is how squishy they are. They're like little pillows of fat and muscle with their skeletons floating inside.

   This picture on the left is Jasper #today, looking very round and innocent.

   He's actually pretty slim when stretched out, and muscular too. He's by far the bravest of my rats, and a really friendly little guy. He likes adventuring and exploring and doesn't seem to have much fear at all.

   He doesn't need to dominate other rats, in fact he relentlessly submits until they give up and act friendly to him.

   The picture on the right is him as a baby shortly after meeting my older rats, he was in there and snuggling with no trouble.

   I love that picture, both Jasper and Frankie look so contented and happy.
