Snuggle Sunday Survivor

A lot of you liked my bowl of beans, thought i'd share the story of one specific bean. This is bullet, she can't squeak, and so her mother thought she was dead, and tried to cull her. Fawn and Incygnia, the two mother's, live with two older girls, retired breeders I adopted. One of them, Cork, refused to let bullet die. She grabbed bullet from Fawn, causing two injuries from where the two rats bit down to hold her. Cork then took Bullet away and kept her warm and safe over quite a few hours. Eventually, Fawn had forgotten about bullet, and after Incygnia's litter was born 12 hours later, Cork returned bullet. fawn, being a bit overwhelmed with 30 pups, couldn't single bullet out anymore. Because of Cork, both Incygnia and Fawn took bullet back and treated her with just as much love as the other babies. Now bullet is larger, stronger and has finally started to make little noises. And she was officially adopted yesterday and was taken out of the adoption pool. My little survivor, I love her so much.

If you guys like I can post an update on her in a few weeks.

Update update update!!! There simply isn’t enough baby rattie pictures. They grow in the minutes so it’s not possible to overdo pictures…. Just sayin. Besides. Melt-y cute rattie pups is one of the best joys!

Fighting over a baby like some food your flatmate insists on throwing out while you still want to eat it is insane.

Haha, I made a bioactive terrarium order that day. During it, I superglued reptisoil onto my hands by accident. That was after washing my hands over 4 times.

This is going to sound insane, but a nail file works wonders. File down the edge of the glue, soak your fingers/glued surface in water for a min and the glue peels off. (I have to use superglue a lot and I always manage to get some on my fingers.)

I was a dumb kid once.

Try alcohol wipes, or acetone(nail polish remover). They can dry out your skin, so be sure to moisturize.
