♦ Ditch the Fake
 
Derek clearly doesn’t like fake rats, judging by his reaction to this Ikea ‘Ratta’ soft toy.

♦ GREEN CLAWS
 
Cucumbers are one of Ronnie and Derek’s favourite food and I grew some plants which have been fruiting over the summer. The photos below show Ronnie waiting impatiently for them to grow, with them both enjoying the resulting product!

♦ Ronnie: December 2018 – 28 October 2020
 
Sadly, lovely little Ronnie was put to sleep yesterday. He’d been unwell with a respiratory infection for a few days and the vet suspected there may have been other complications, such as cancer, as he wasn’t responding well to any treatment. Letting him go was a very sad, difficult decision, but the right one to ensure he didn’t suffer.

He was a wonderful, funny rat who gave a lot of love and joy to his humans. There are plenty of memories, photos and videos of Ronnie and he’ll never be forgotten.

Derek will no doubt miss Ronnie, but he’s a strong little rat who enjoys human company and he’ll be fine.

♦ Earn Another Crust
 
Watch Ronnie and Derek trying to nibble on the crust of a baguette which I put on top of their cage! Have a look at more crust activity here.
