Today I adopted a new rat, who I have named Puzzle. Here is a picture of him looking nervous in his new cage.

Apparently, my little buddy here is camera shy. Note the big paws – they show he’s only a youngster.

On a related note, this is my current backdrop. Most people would probably find this picture horrifying, but to me it’s the equivalent of a basket of fuzzy kittens. There’s no accounting for taste, I suppose.
