I’m pleased to say Derek’s been coping well since Ronnie passed away on Wednesday. He’s been getting extra treats and cuddles from his humans and he seems to be his usual self.
On 13 April 2021, we acquired two new rats, who were born in February 2021. The chocolate-coloured one is called Jack, who’s a ‘Berkshire’ rat, while Alec is a ‘Roan’ rat and has grey and white markings.
You can read more about them here. Further content will be posted about Jack and Alec in the coming weeks and months!
This website has also been renamed to ‘R. D. Rats & Co.’ and much of the content about looking after rats has been amended and updated. The ‘R. D.’ in the name is a reference to Ronnie and Derek.
Some photos of Jack and Alec while they were settling in during their first week with us.
