I tried to do a photo shoot with the foster rats, get some cute pictures that would help get them adopted. This was the only picture I got of Peanut that wasn't just a blur, and Raisin refused to come out from under the bed.

#Magawa was a southern giant pouched #rat born at Sokoine University of Agriculture in #Tanzania in 2013

Magawa was trained by #APOPO, the #Belgium nonprofit that trains #rats and dogs to detect #mines

In #Cambodia Magawa became the most successful #landmine sniffing rat ever, clearing 23 hectares/56 acres, detecting 71 #landmines and 38 other explosives

Magawa died in 2022

On April 3, for International #Mine Awareness Day, Cambodia honored Magawa with a stone statue

Parrot rides in submarine, hero rat gets a statue, cat comes in for help, and the Dawn of Bunny.

Peanut and Raisin need lots of free roam time, and they're quite entertaining to watch. This is Peanut investigating a LED lamp
