My first pair of rats were Speedy and Peanut-Butter. Speedy was a black hooded rat and Peanut-butter was a beige hood rat.
I just lost one of my girls to a pituitary tumor who was named Peanut (she was named by a fellow associate because Peanut loved Peanuts XD) She was a black hooded ratty.
My current rats are Sheila, Tex, Luna, and Charlotte.
Sheila- Black Irish (Black with white tummy and paws)
Tex- I think she is a champagne color
Luna- Blue Irish
Charlotte: Beige Hooded

| I've got a gang of black hooded rats. Six of them. It took me a while to have the ability to recognize each rat, but after I got to know each of their personalities, it was easy. I got them at a pet store, which some rat owners list as a big no no, but, I've never had a problem with temperament, health, or anything else. I'm not planning on breeding anytime soon, so genes aren't a huge impact...

| I had two rats: one was Speedy, a white female who died at 20 months. She got her name for being very excitable and making an escape attempt across the store before she was purchased. My other rat was Indiana, a fawn hooded female who was very curious and outgoing. She died seven months after her sister at two & a half years of age.

| I got my first rat ever Jan 2, 2009. She's a black hood and probably is the most lovable pet I've ever had!

Sad news, Sheila passed away back in March. I believe her lungs finally gave way to a respiratory problem that would not respond to medication. She went in for 3 neubelizer treatments, but they didn't work. She was approx. 3 years and 2 months, possibly older.
Before Sheila had fallen ill, I had been talking with a co-worker who had a lone rat. Her current mischief of females would not accept her, so she had asked me if I would take her so she wouldn't have to live alone. I agreed but held back taking her when Sheila fell ill. About a week or 2 after Sheila's passing I took her in. Once named Bella, she has been renamed Susie.
A couple days after I took her in another female rat was surrendered to the store in terrible condition. She was very thin, she was being kept in a hamster cage, she was alone and depressed, her fur was dingy from dirty newspaper bedding that was not cleaned out often enough, and the nails on her back feet were curled under and almost protruding into her paws.  I couldn't leave her there to be adopted out alone (as we all know they should be in at least pairs) and to someone who may not been prepared or unwilling ot provide her proper care. Once named Speedy, she is now called Kaylee.
Susie: Black blazed hooded dumbo. approx. 7 months old.
Kaylee: Agouti hooded. Approx. 7 months old.
