Isabel's rats come for a visit

On Thursday Isabel brought her rats for show and tell. Her mum brought them in and told stories about when they got the rats. Bubbles and Squeak were very cute and made themselves at home. Isabel's dad mentioned about the Black Plague, a desease which was spread by the fleas on the rats backs. We also learnt that if a wild rat was born white it would soon be eaten by its siblings. There were some very good questions about how to tell them apart. Bubbles had a line of bubbles down his back and Squeak has red eyes and a faint marking on his back. Everybody wanted a cuddle with our cute visitors but it got too loud and Bubbles and Squeak became quite frightened and scared. Isabel showed us a trick that she had taught Bubbles, going up and down her sleeve. cute! It is clear that rats will be very good pets for someone who has time, energy and lots of love!! Thanks isabel for showing us your cute pets.
