Helpful local rats Bucket (right, brown) and Sharky (left, blond) are out on the sofa. They are eating from an open Taco Bell wrapper with some bits of lettuce, tomato, cheese, and crunchy taco shell on it. (Toffee is working on the cleanup too, but off camera.)
Thank goodness there was someone to help with this taco debris!

Two rats, Bucket (solid brown, front) and Toffee (brown with white sides, back) in their cage. They are both drinking from the same water bottle. Hard to see, but Toffee is shoving Bucket a bit.
The same scene, from outside the cage. The bars are in much better focus than the rats, and look like they could use a cleaning. Toffee is pushing Bucket away with a little pink hand, right on the forehead.
Inside the cage again. Toffee is standing to the side and turning toward the camera. Bucket is drinking with great focus now that he's unimpeded.
Me: *refills water bottle, takes maybe 2 min*
Bucket and Toffee: *immediately descend on bottle and start chugging like their lives depend on it*

Two rats in a blue space pod hung from the cage roof. In front we see most of brown rat Toffee's head and shoulders, and a little of his loose rolly skin bulges over the edge. Blond rat Sharky's nose peeps over Toffee's head, with the rest of him hidden.

Rats in their cage with an open box to the right. There is a soy sauce dish on the floor, with plain cooked white rice in it. Bucket, brown, leans over the dish, about to grab some more rice. Sharky, blond, approaches beside him to get a second helping. Toffee, brown with white sides, lurks in the dark interior of the box with his rice.

In a freshly cleaned cage, we see Sharky's back as he walks away from the camera. Various cage furnishings are visible in the background. The floor is lined with clean blank sheets of newsprint. But don't worry, the "clean blank" part is on their to-do list!
Sorry, Sharky can't stop for photo ops right now, the ENTIRE CAGE just got CLEANED and he's going to be extremely busy getting everything pee-scented again

Three sleepy rats cuddled up in a soft hide. Toffee's head sticks out from under Sharky's body. Bucket lies behind and rests his chin on Sharky's shoulders.

Oops I made Bucket melt. 🫠
Sharky allowed me a few scritches before pushing me away to focus on the IMPORTANT LOCAL ISSUE that my hand needs a thorough grooming.

Cage scene showing the back of a green Christmas tree shaped soft hide. A large opening has been added by the rats. A ragged flap of green felt with bits of foam lies on the floor, still attached at the bottom. Toffee's nose pokes out through the hole. Bucket is at the edge of the frame, leaving the scene.
Another view of the hole. Toffee is still demoing the new door, now with most of his head out. He is looking out at Bucket, who is in the extreme foreground with my fingers scritching his head.
Toffee has fully emerged and leans close to sniff the camera. He looks proud of his work. The remodeled hide is in the background.
These guys were pretty busy with some home DIY last night

Last night Bucket realized that sofa time isn't only for running around, it can be for relaxing scritches too

Bucket recommends some banana bread to help you through The Horrors. (Maybe you can even score a shoulder ride to the kitchen to go get it!)

Rats in a triple-decker hammock made from light blue fabric printed with breakfast items. Three rats are visible piled up on the top layer, and one more is peeping out from the bottom layer.
Have a little break from The Horrors. Rats suggest some cuddling with friends.

Bruce, a rat with thinning black rex fur, sits inside a plastic tub of mixed Cheerio and Kix cereal pieces. The health department might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Today's break from The Horrors is brought to you by Brucey-Bruce.
In 2023, being old and having zero hecks left to give, he was not afraid to ask bold questions... Like "Why NOT sit directly in a big tub filled with cereal and burrow into the fluffy crunchy grainy goodness?"

Three rats are piled up together at their open cage door, to see whether the human brought a snack. Left to right: Sharky (blonde with rex fur), Toffee (brown with white sides), and Bucket (solid brown).
Here, have a rat-sized break from The Horrors. Bucket, Sharky, and Toffee think a snack might help you too.
