Double click GET IT???? SUCH A KNEE SLAPPER (Lily and Maggie, 2025)

Hello? Ah, yes! Welcome to my house! (Maggie, 2025) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

I scrolled into a section that had photos towards the end of Lily's life. She wasn't too fond of eating on her own, but she'd accept syringes full of food. She also preferred to be out with me, so we had a "bottle feeding" routine. (Lily, 2025) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

Let’s get RATICAL 🐀✨

Empty laundry basket? Must explore (Matilda, 2026) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

I got the neatest hides for the rat cage! They attach to the sides of the cage, and are quite roomy. I'll show them once I do a cage clean. They're so cute!!

oh subway you were so perfectly scrungy ❤️ [ #art / #rats / #sillyhours ]

This is the rat child that had a little fit when I stopped giving her scratches, and squeaked in protest at my attempt to pick her up instead of giving her scritches #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

I mean that's one way to nap (Madeline laying on Hilda, and Ruby in the level below; 2021) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

The prettiest lil' Daisy I ever did see! (Daisy, 2019) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

Matilda definitely has the most unique coat I've seen on a rattie! Chocolate, caramel, beige/tan belly, flecks of other colors. She looks like she has hooded, but she has lots more going on I'm not sure what it is, but it's neat! #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

On the blanket? Under the blanket? IN the blanket? In the blanket (Matilda, 2026) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

This is the face of a rat child that climbed into my hoodie, then started crying when she got stuck in a fold and couldn't figure out how to get out (I love this sentient chocolate bar so much look at how PRECIOUS SHE IS; Matilda, 2026) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

You got snacks in your hand????? (Matilda, 2026) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

Throwback to something worth repeating.

My sleepy flower girls <3 I apparently woke up Peony from her nap, but Daisy was sound asleep. A couple other of the girls are in there, but they're too snuggled in to tell who is who! (2019) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting #cuddles

Matilda has been favoring this double decker hammock over her nest boxes, and she likes to cram bedding in there until it's spherical. She wasn't happy when I shooed her out of it for cage clean 😆

Matilda has been a big comfort thru this nosebleed ordeal. I got the packing removed today (OUCH), and spots in my nose cauterized. I'm not out of the woods yet, but her company makes it less miserable. Here's Matilda at full pizza rat! #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting #pizzarat

I found myself in the ER yesterday after a severe nosebleed. I have packing jammed in my nose still, which is BEYOND MISERABLE. I can't sleep, eat, shower, or brush my teeth... awful. Matilda has REALLY been keeping my spirits up. Love this bab #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting

I don't think she wants to fold laundry (Matilda, 2026) #petrat #ratsofbsky #ratsofbluesky #ratposting

UPDATE: She ditched laundry duty (Matilda, 2025) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting #laundry

She tried to ditch folding laundry, but due to skipping arm day, couldn't pull herself out (Matilda, 2025) #petrat #ratsofbluesky #ratsofbsky #ratposting #laundry

Curious noses. This is the sort of welcome you get arriving home to your boy rats after visiting some girl rats. Or vice versa. Like dogs, rats can learn much from each other’s smell - health, diet, relatedness, immune system compability. Imagine being able to do that with humans!
