Ah, my phone delivers me random photos from the past, and I can’t not share it. Look how smug Helena looks, getting the first dib at the snack (big papaya chunks)!

Our companion rats weren’t on a calorie restricted diet. They were on a healthy plantBased diet.
I know that, but to put this info into practice is another story. (When your ratties beg for snacks, impossible to say no) Thus, I stick with PlantBased food which is naturally low in calories.
Our longest-lived rattie, Lil Marty never ever over-ate. He also didn’t touch human junk food. He never got sick.
Rats for that matter, too!

@sqrl_23@birdon.social Your piggies are adorable beyond belief! Beautiful creatures!!
@mwl That’s so cute!
Once our Marty achieved “down,” there was no stopping him. From that moment on, he was set to explore every surface in the rat room. He was neophile, somehow knew he was safe in his surroundings.
Here’s him looking out the window, perching on the rim of rat laundry bin, sniffing the early morning air.

Lil Marty was under the weather this past weekend, but appears to be on the mend. Pls send positive healing vibes his way. Thank you.
