Rattie people, what are you tagging your rattie pictures with?
I use #RatsOfMastodon...kind of seems like I'm the only one using it..?

🎵 "I've been waiting alllll day,
for you to clean my rat caaaage.
So let's get up, let's get on it,
don't you leave me warm and stinky tonight.
Honest, thumb-beast I'll do,
Everything and fling pooooo,
why don't you finish what you started?
Don't leave me warm and stinky tonight." :flan_guitar:
Grandpa watched them for us. We left everything he'd need on the futon and said "Give each two or three treats a day. A mix of whatever's here."
Pretty normal.
We get home and the food dishes are full. The poop has been scraped up. Grandpa took an empty treat can and put a mix of treats in it. Dregs remain in the bottom. Two toddler puffs, a couple chunks of this and that, and--
an Ikea sour gummy?
She Who Must Be Obeyed left a ziploc bag of gummies on a table in the rat room. Not on the futon, but close enough that he must have thought we'd slipped up.
The guys played with us last night, sure. But they also spent a LOT of effort trying to reach that table.
"It's me.
Hi.
I'm the problem, it's me.
At treat time
Everybody agrees.
I'll stash my noms inside your nose
but nibble groom your ear,
it must be exhausting cleaning up after the ratty hero."
🎵 "Hello thumb-beast my old friend,
I've come to squeak at you again.
Because a brother softly sneaking,
thieved my stash while I was sleeping.
And the nut shells that were scattered in my cage,
still remain,
amidst the sounds of ratness."🎵
"So... I'm insured for this, right? You'll make good my losses, I'm sure. Of course you will, you're the thumb-beast and I'm cute."
