From top left - clockwise.
Genevieve the black striped roan, Nelson(thank you Kei for helping me name her <3) the black hoodie, Mikki the agouti hoodie and Grabbyhands the.. uh(grey capped roan? Something very mismarked xD).
I had rescued Mikki before(from work, a couple brought her in to be put to sleep for apparently being aggressive. She's a bit cage territorial and being totslly blind doesn't help, but a confident hand really helps), the other three I took from a local rescue last week. Nelson likes to eat fingers :D Bitter apple spray time... again.. I'll sort that out over time, as well as Genevieve's shyness. I have no idea on their background at at all, neither did the rescue.
Oh shit here comes the soap box. I'll be superquick.
If anyone's thinking of getting a pet, please consider rescue. You find such awesome companions(pretty much all of our animals are rescues, save the fish heheh) and you're helping out the animals who really need it at the same time. I go for animals that need work, because I know I'm good at rehab, but believe me there are countless perfectly socialised, healthy animals who don't need any work at all looking for homes. I could of left the rescue with two baby rats who absolutely loved people, no problems at all. I just chose these weirdos instead. xD

Ratties! <3 they're all adorable...Genevieve has such cool markings. :>
I wanted to rescue some myself but I called all the shelters in the area and they didn't have rats for some reason. So I bought from breeders...I refuse to buy the puppy-mill kind of rats from big pet stores :/

Breeders are great too C: The next choice for me ehehe.
I just happen to be lucky in finding rescues I think, it's easier to find things like rats with small run-from-home rescues imho, a lot of big shelters won't take anything that isn't a cat or a dog.
But deee rats :D
