we’re remembering dear marigold and violet, who left us this year

happy new year and may you get all the dry pasta and sunflower seeds you can eat (or whatever humans like)

We’re excited to announce that Bantshire has achieved a ‘Rat Friendly Campus’ Gold award!

even our whiskers are special

we had a go at recreating this

happy valentine’s day

we’re very happy you’re panic buying cleaning products so the humans can’t get the stuff they need to remove our nice scent from the cage

we want one of these x.com/womensart1/sta…

yes please

did you know we flat pack?

there’s nothing quite like a nice plush pillow

we hear it’s the chinese new year, so the year of the rat is over - we trust it was all good for you humans and nothing bad happened on our watch

so many old friends and forerunners now gone but not forgotten

This little cutie, called Rita, and her sister have been abandoned and are up for adoption at Pets at Home in Woking #PetRats #Rescue
