It has been a whole month since I got my adorable little boys! I think they deserve an ickle blog to celebrate the cuteness and also how they have impacted my life in general ❤
Little munchkins ❤
Billy and Teddy are my two little ratties. I got them on the 8th February 2018. I love them more than anything in the world, they have brought so much happiness to my life that I will never regret owning them.. ever! They are here to stay.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. Do they smell? – Not as bad as my dog!
2. Do they bite? – Uhm, not really. Teddy is a biter/snatcher… but I don’t think he means to hurt, he’s just being curious/over excited.
3. Do they keep you awake at night? – From someone who suffers insomnia, no not at all.
4. How did you get your parents to agree to have them? – I didn’t. I bought them with my own money, and told me that I WILL look after them, they are my animals and I’ll pay for their needs. They didn’t say anything after that. They don’t like them though haha.
5. Are you not scared of them? – Uh…. NO.

Fave place to sleep: Sputnik
Cute moment: He took a big chunk of peanut butter and just looked like a greedy guts.
Cuddles
I think my friends actually like them as much as I do because they see how happy they make me. People used to ask me how I am all the time, now they ask how the boys are… so cute! The best comment I have had is “I don’t like rats, but yours are cute” haha ❤
I really don’t know what I would do without my babies, I really don’t. I strongly do believe I wouldn’t still be around if I didn’t have them. I think it was fate and some sort of destiny that brought them into my life; and I will be forever grateful to my bundles of happiness for making me smile each and every day ❤ Love you beans! ❤
Make sure to go and follow me on social media to see more of my ratties 🙂
