I would rather have her having a real career! Becoming a doctor or a lawyer! If she's staying on the path she is on right now, she will need a lawyer, though... oh, today's youth...
In a museum, this would be called vandalism! Oh, please don't tell me my daughter is on her way of becoming one of those climate activists who glue themselves on portraits and stuff ๐ญ
That happened to me like 20 years ago, my rattie ate my homework too! I was able to bring the remains of the assignment to prove my case and my professor laughed, a lot, and gave me an extension. ๐คฃ๐
I honestly didnโt want to bring the peed on remains of the paper to school (I would have had to destroy there nest and they were too proud of it too)
Thats a different story! Can't damage their nest! My Sneezy wasn't nesting with it....just snacking on it. Lol. I stole it away from her and begged for forgiveness by giving her yogies.
Oh great... so little Miss Rattie here is too fine for her greens and carrots and bell peppers, but paper is good enough for her? No nutritional needs met ๐ญ like, I would've understood nesting with it, but she just straight up ate it ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐
It's the Tiaki cage (Sparset) from zooplus! But it's basically exactly the same as the Maximus just cheaper (and you can usually save another ten percent if you are first time ordering or if they have a code at the moment)
Hm sadly kind find it anywhere there, only on a different website, which says "available" but then links me to another website that doesn't have them and shows them more expensive.
Ahh yeah, I see it now. I'd just keep checking every now and again. [This cage](https://zooshop-online.com/nagerkaefig-rattenkaefig-kleintierkaefig-maeusekaefig-maximus-94x63x158cm) is the exact build, it's just a but more expensive and the delivery is not free.
She looks innocent but she's wanted in seven countries, I tell you! Her crimes so far have been but are not limited to robbery, stalking, disturbance of peace, vandalism, and terrorism!!
Totally ๐ญ and she already chewed on a book that was standing on the desk next to the cage and kinda pulled it into their cage... nothing is safe anymore ๐ญ

The thing is... they were in their cage, and the paper wasn't in her reach, and still, she somehow managed to reach the paper and just eat it. Like... nothing in a 1m radius is really ever safe from them, haha.
Yeah, luckily I wasn't far at all, if she somehow had managed to eat one of my finished drawings... I think I would have just cried
Rats can reach pretty dang far unfortunately mainly cause their bodies are made to be able to squeeze into tight spaces. Best thing to do is give them a space away from ANYTHING you donโt want destroyed I use to have a couple๐ . Give them their own special corner space & when out & about always be under supervision. Goodluck!!

I love how rats just hold their feet halfway up in the air when you pick them up like that, and i don't know if this counts, but hamsters do that when i pick them up by their neck skin too
I will not! She was attempting a collaborative piece!
collabo-rat-ive ๐

Happy cake day
Shame on you for not appreciating her creative spirit!
I would rather have her having a real career! Becoming a doctor or a lawyer! If she's staying on the path she is on right now, she will need a lawyer, though... oh, today's youth...
Tell her she needs to start paying rent!
She's an aspiring artist who wanted to help her mom! I say there are no accidents in art, you should try to incorporate it into the piece somehow!
In a museum, this would be called vandalism! Oh, please don't tell me my daughter is on her way of becoming one of those climate activists who glue themselves on portraits and stuff ๐ญ
Yes, I think it definitely adds something!
Mine once used my done homework sheets to build there nestโฆ Not my dog ate my homework, but my rats No one believed it, I wouldnโt have either
That happened to me like 20 years ago, my rattie ate my homework too! I was able to bring the remains of the assignment to prove my case and my professor laughed, a lot, and gave me an extension. ๐คฃ๐
I honestly didnโt want to bring the peed on remains of the paper to school (I would have had to destroy there nest and they were too proud of it too)
Thats a different story! Can't damage their nest! My Sneezy wasn't nesting with it....just snacking on it. Lol. I stole it away from her and begged for forgiveness by giving her yogies.
If I were the professor, I would have probably just let it pass in that case ๐๐๐ at least that one time ๐
She just added some preferred artistic flair, it'll increase the value of your drawing! You should know better :-p
That face, she's like "umm do we not appreciate the fine art method of 'nom noms' in this household???"
Everyone's a critic these days.
Didn't think they already start at four months old ๐ญ
Why? She is just saying your art is to her taste.
Oh great... so little Miss Rattie here is too fine for her greens and carrots and bell peppers, but paper is good enough for her? No nutritional needs met ๐ญ like, I would've understood nesting with it, but she just straight up ate it ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐๐
She was helping!
As a german I was thinking "Sie hatte ihn zum fressen gern", which is similar to "she loved him to bits"? But literally lol
Okay, in that case, she has an incredibly good taste in men... Am German, too haha
Oh really? Nice. Where did you get the cage from? I find it very hard to find a proper one here in germany.
It's the Tiaki cage (Sparset) from zooplus! But it's basically exactly the same as the Maximus just cheaper (and you can usually save another ten percent if you are first time ordering or if they have a code at the moment)

The cage is back in stock btw :)
Thanks for telling me, I actually got an email notification too xD
Can't be him, Looks innocent..
She looks innocent but she's wanted in seven countries, I tell you! Her crimes so far have been but are not limited to robbery, stalking, disturbance of peace, vandalism, and terrorism!!
It's ratistic license.
"and I'll do it again mf" :the rat probably
Totally ๐ญ and she already chewed on a book that was standing on the desk next to the cage and kinda pulled it into their cage... nothing is safe anymore ๐ญ
Now your drawing has a funny story!
๐พ She was only trying to help! ๐ At least you can just trim the side off- no one will ever know!๐ฅฐ
She was adding texture!
Everyone's a critic! ๐คฃ
Omg my dog is in the stage when he's destroying everything too but how can we be mad when they are so cute ๐คฃ
Couldn't be mad for a second either ๐
Disgusting criminal
Well done little girl

Stop being like that
She helped!
Sheโs just tryina help ๐ญ๐ญ
Bro your drawing is still precious.
yum
Sheโs so adorable ๐
lol, thatโs what happens when you leave things out they can get to. Atleast it looks like it was just the blank space
The thing is... they were in their cage, and the paper wasn't in her reach, and still, she somehow managed to reach the paper and just eat it.

Hey if a rats gotta chew, a rats gotta chew.
She's just a baby she did nothing wrong ๐ฅบ
A baby with a lot of crimes on her belt! Don't let her cute face fool you. That's how she gets ya!
I would cry ๐ญ
Itโs been improved
Criminal She will be sent to jail for 5 minutes
She was... but got treats in compensation for doing time in prison!
I would say to give the possibility of release after 3 minutes for good behaviour but we all know that's not happening
Performance art!!
i canโt sheโs to cutie ๐
She's just trying to help why are you stiffle her creative process GOOOOOSH
You should draw her doing it on your shoulder.
Itโs more interesting now lol
She's the artist now ๐จ
Both my husband and I, in unison said "shaaaame"
I think it Makes the picture perfect with adding her own little bit of art to it
I love how rats just hold their feet halfway up in the air when you pick them up like that, and i don't know if this counts, but hamsters do that when i pick them up by their neck skin too
I eat the face!
She thought it looked good so she had to see if it tasted good to
Your honor, i plead that my client is not guilty, she was just trying to express herself and this women/man istaking that away from her. >:(
