We had boys, they were great.

Your girls are so cute. Nice shots.

Very cute.

We had 3, Cinnamon, Ginger Snap and Honey.

All long gone, except for the holes they left in my TShirts.

Great shots

About time there were some rat photos on here. They are very cute

We (my daughter) had rats for years. They were a pair of thieving rats too. They would run across the desk & grab the pen you were writing with take off with it.

Now that is one cute rat! It kinda makes me almost like them. You did a good job with the white background.

I just noticed one of your rats is named Kitty!! You have quite a menagerie!!! Pet rats are cool. I never thought I could like them until my son begged for one when he was younger. She was very smart and friendly....and pregnant!

Thank you everyone!! They certainly are a HUGE part of our family... their cage is set right beside our sofa even.. all 3'+ x 2' of it lol

Lol, Kitty was actually a rescue who came with her name.. in her younger days she was a crack-up. Both girls know how to stand on their hind feet on command and are litter trained, they really are cool pets.. Ratatoille was great publicity for the "Rat" world (never thought i would say that)... Yes, we do have quite the critter family.. we went to pick up mice recently (we have a few breeders for our pet snake Cameron) and the lady behind the counter said "Odd first pet isnt it" we just smiled and said, "you have no idea" hehehe.. im not sure which is more strange/odd the red eye tree frogs, the rats, the snake, the crested geckos, or the bearded dragons.. we wont even get started on the "feeder cabinet"

Nice work! You know you have done well when you shoot around the house using a blanket for a background and it looks like you have your own studio!

wow, thanks Jeff Its a microfiber blanket.. it actually works really well as a backdrop (its twin size) I have used it alot for a backdrop but nothing compares to its actual use as a blanket.. its sooooo soft! Its so nice to get such wonderful comments, especially from this forum. Its taken me a year but I have more or less found my nitch.. Im horrible at people photography but throw some animals in front of me and i have a field day! :ivar

picked up some new "backdrops" they had microfiber blankets on sale at walmart for $4.95ea, cant turn that down! So now I have navy, white, black and tan...not too shabby for being nothing but a blanket thrown over my desk chair?
