When I was twelve I owned my first two rats. Male brothers with black hoods and two of the sweetest most placid rats I have met. They were content to sit in my hood all day, and loved corn kernels so much they had to be served frozen, lest they gorge themelves. They were freefeeding, they just really liked corn...

They lived for four years and one month.

Requiescant in Pace c** omnes mei amarum.
