| Today I drove (okay, well, Benson drove) out to Fielding where I adopted a new rat to be a companion for Mathias. His name is Linus, and he is a hairless hooded rex. He is the most adorable monster to ever walk the earth. Here are some pics! 
I'm letting him get comfortable in this tank until I introduce him to Mathias and they get friendly enough to be put in the same cage together. They've both been alone for a very long time, so it might take a while to get them used to each other. I'll keep you posted. :) UPDATE: They met and didn't seem too bothered with each other. I have them in the same cage now. Linus is making himself right at home, doesn't seem very stressed or nervous at all. Mathias, however, is very subdued, he doesn't seem to want to acknolwedge Linus's existence. They haven't fought though, which is a good sign. I'll be keeping an eye on them but I'm pretty sure they'll slowly get used to each other now and be the best of friends. :) |
