Goodbye Polleke!

Our beautiful Polleke left us today after almost 2,5 years. We loved her curiosity from the moment she came to live with us, as small as a little mouse...





... all the way to this:



She was our last rat standing - the very last one of the group to go. Now all there's left is an empty cage. No more sleeping in a pile, no more of this:



It truly is the end of an era!! :(

Goodbye Polleke! Back to your sisters you go!

Goodbye Miya!

Our little big lazy Miya...



... left us today after a little more than two years :( I named her after Hayao Miyazaki, one of my all time favorite filmmakers. Last night, before I knew we had to put our Miya down, I made something for the shop: a stamp of Chihiro from Spirited Away...

That one's for you, Miya! Back to your sisters you go!

Bye Impi!

Impi...



... Builder of Nests...



... left us this week after 2,5 years. She had a great (and long!) life and kept building till the end ;)

Bye Impi, we'll miss you! Back to your sisters you go!

Bye Nitta!

You went from this...



... to this:



And I loved you all the way!! (Make sure to say hi to Bibi for us in rat-heaven!)

Nitta (07/08/08 - 25/10/10)

Bye Bibi!!

You were a great pet & made us laugh every day! Too bad you couldn't stay longer...
