Meet Rose!

I've adopted a new girl! One of the members of my main rat forum is going to school and had to give up his girl (and college is, to me, a darn good reason to have to adopt out your rat). He was in Fairfax, so at least it was only about a one-hour drive to get her this time. Meet Rose:

She's a little bundle of PEW energy--definitely our smallest and most svelte rat. The fact she was a free-range rat, I feel, almost certainly had something to do with the fact she's not overweight. She loves to explore and isn't afraid of the dog at all.

We tried to intro her to the girls last night--I'm sorry to say it didn't go smoothly, but we'll try again a few times. We may also intro her to the Rink Rats (they're neutered) if it doesn't work out with the girls. In the meantime, she's in a large cage, with plenty of stuff in there to keep her (I hope!) occupied and amused.
