Feeling Happy Hello! This is me on the left, Ellie-May Squish. I'm head rat at Rat Planet, and I have seven brothers and sisters. We're not really all related but we like to think of ourselves as one big happy family. We call our human Ver, and she is the editor of Rat Planet. She looks after us and we are never, ever locked in a cage, although we have a number of them around the apartment for our use and security. We rats always need a secure, dark bedroom where we can feel safe to snooze the day away, and take our meals there. We're what they call "free-range" rats, and we're very lucky to have found a loving Forever Home. Not all rats are that lucky. We all come from Furry Friends Rescue in Surrey, where our aunty Emma cared for us when we were brought into her. No one wanted all of us together but Emma wouldn't split us up - thank you Emma! After a few weeks we found our home at Rat Planet and we all came here together! There were already two bucks here - Barnabus J Depp & Wormwood B Pitt. They are both neutered so there's no chance of babies, thank goodness! Sadly, two of us passed over Rainbow Bridge after just a couple of weeks. Serena-Jay and Trixie-Bell were very happy to have found a Forever Home and lots of love - and a name - even if it was only for a short time. Ver nursed them both to the end and they didn't suffer. Phew! This typing lark really takes it out of you, doesn't it? I think I'll have to introduce you to the others after I've had a rest and a snack. Hope you enjoy my diary!

  Wonderful stuff! Very enjoyable, even though I know nothing about rats (the non-human kind, that is.) Keep going!!!
