Birthday boys
Jack and George are somewhere in the neighborhood of two years old now, so when a friend of mine gave me a homemade carrot cake, I thought it would make a good birthday treat for the boys.
Jim got some too, of course.
Yep, that's a big shaved spot and stitches on Jim's side. A couple of weeks ago he and George got into either a tiff or some over-zealous grooming, and Dr. G had to neaten up the ends of the wound and irrigate it to make sure it healed up nicely. He alternated metal staples and nylon sutures; Jim has taken care of removing most of the sutures himself. The staples come out Friday.
(Never a dull moment around here, I'll say that.)

PS I always get hungry when I read your posts cus your ratties eat better than I do!!!
Happy Birthday (and happy healing to Jim) to the handsomest boys.
