Meet the boys

I have two new additions to the family.  Their names are Dexter and Smokey, and they are 8-week-old baby rats.  They're still a bit skittish in their new home, but we're getting to know each other.  We only met yesterday, so it's to be expected.  Dexter is the mainly white one with the gray hood, and Smokey is the totally gray one, though he has a white belly.  Dexter is definitely the more shy of the two, and Smokey sort of bosses him around even though he is smaller.

Anna also got a kitten yesterday, so now there is definitely an interesting animal dynamic brewing in the flat.  The kitten is not yet named, and was a rescue.  Cats and rats can be good friends if they grow up together, so we shall see what happens.  For now, though, the boys are safely in their cage or out in my room, away from kitty.
