A pet rat has three names. There's his rat name, which thumb-beasts never learn. There's the human-assigned name. Then there's the name he accumulates over time, developed from his character and demeanor.

Truffle is also known as Mister Fuzzypants. #petRats #rats

Quercy's tilde whiskers let him detect sus.

They alarm like mad whenever I'm around. Weird. #petRats #rats

Suddenly: FERMI #petRats #rats
When in doubt, pet something small and fuzzy. Two at once if you can. #petRats #rats

Truffle would like you to know that even though times are hard everything is going to be okay eventually, and you should all keep going.

In the meantime, he's gonna chill. #petRats #rats

I would have no meal left at all if I saw those eyes.

Truffle says it's a good day to chill in bed with a buddy. #rats #petRats
Fermi took over the strawberry hammock today because he needs a space to do his high velocity spins, so Quercy has claimed the top of the low hammock. He's okay, though, because folks can still admire him. #petRats #rats
