how cute.
I had rats twice.
It was strange, because the first one we got from a snake food place and my mom found it sad to let him get eaten.
We also had snakes, 3.

Then I had to put her down because she was getting those rat tumors

I love all rodentia, but I don't know how anyone could NOT love a little, snow white, 4-legged, Oreo-munching critter with a name as cool as Esme; especially when said creature looks like she's thinking, "Uh oh! Busted!"
Nice shot!
