Ahead of tomorrow’s UK General Election, where rats would most likely vote for the Biscuit DemocRats who would offer free digestive biscuits for all rats, here’s some political ratty silliness.

I previously posted about how I bought a ‘cozy’ tube and hammock from Silver’s Rattery Etsy shop.
Ronnie and Derek were recently both in the same tube and it ended with Derek kicking Ronnie out – see the photos below. I subsequently bought another tube so they can use one each!

Watch Ronnie and Derek hoovering up some pasta!
Ronnie and/or Derek have tried some DIY by moving some furniture and re-upholstering. Unfortunately it ended up a bit of a mess.
Yesterday morning, one of them had dragged one of their ‘surfboard’ cushions into their house and started to rip off its cover. Last night it got chucked out and the cover had got half ripped off and pulled into the house (see photo, below left).
By this morning, the inner cushion and cover were both ripped into bits and mostly dragged into their house (see photo, below right). They probably won’t be invited onto any DIY TV shows any time soon!

If there’s one thing Ronnie and Derek love doing, it’s eating. See below more photos of them indulging themselves!

Happy 1st birthday to Ronnie and Derek!
While their exact date of birth is unknown, I decided 12th December would be their ‘official’ birthday for reasons I explained here.
They’ll be getting some food based treats later which I’ll be filming and posting tomorrow.
Ronnie and Derek love supervised exploring and one of their new favourite places is under the sofa – a dark, small space which may even have the odd tasty crumb lurking under there.
It’s not easy to get them out, requiring lifting of the sofa, as they’ve learnt not to be tempted by food which is offered as a bribe for their exit. Derek has also ripped up a cloth bag that was under there and made a semi-nest from it!
