A Neat Idea

About two months ago I purchased an old TV entertainment center. It was a big one, four feet by four feet. Without a doubt I knew it would work perfectly for what I needed it for. And no, I did not need it for a TV. I had a much better idea in mind...

You may not know what I am getting at so I will give you some clues. The TV entertainment center I bought has two storage compartments at the bottom. Hmmm... what are those compartments for? Well, for supplies of course! But what kind of supplies? I don't want to give it away yet so I'll just have to keep going. The entertainment center is water resistant, which is definitely a plus. Not only that, but it is not too shallow. It is actually pretty deep. Have any clue yet? Just in case the answer is no I will give you one more hint. Like every entertainment center, this one has levels. Some are big and some are small.

Still not sure? Well, let me enlighten you. The TV entertainment center I bought is going to be converted into a rat cage. I have been planning this for quite some time and will be starting the building process sometime next week.

To some, this may sound a bit strange. But in reality, it is a very good idea! And I am not the first to come up with an idea like this. Many people convert bookshelves, cabinets, and entertainment centers into comfortable homes for their furry friends. Believe it or not, it is not very hard to build your own cage and it is very cost efficient. If you have rats of your own you may want to look into this. It is definitely worth a shot.

Well, I hope my lengthy post has sparked your interest! I will be sure to keep everyone updated as I move forward with building my cage. I will definitely give step by step instructions with the pictures that I post.

Counting Down The Days...

I did have my doubts, but not anymore! Peppermint and Patty are definitely pregnant! Their stomachs have really 'popped' over the past few days. If all goes well they should have their babies within the next ten days. I will post pictures of Patty as soon as I get the chance. She is big, but not quite as big as Peppermint. :-)

 

 

 

* By the way, I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving! *

Too Cute!

I was looking through my pictures today and found these...





 

Atto relaxing in his hammock. He was so comfortable!

 

 

This is Patty as a baby. Her very first picture!




 

I took this quick shot of Atto a few months ago. He is very photogenic when he is exploring! ;-)




*A quick side note*  It appears as if Peppermint and Patty are both pregnant. If this is the case, their due dates would be sometime in early December. They are both doing great! I really am hoping they will be mamas soon! I will continue to keep everyone posted. :-)

 

A Naughty Rat!

Every day I let my big, old rat explore the bedroom. For the most part he is well behaved, but sometimes he can be a very naughty boy!  :-)




 

 

My Rattery!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my blog.  :-)

Today is the official opening of Riverside Rattery!

I currently own three rats, one male and two females. I am hoping to have my first litter sometime after Thanksgiving.

I will keep you posted!
