You know, there is one thing I absolutely adore about my little precious ones. No matter what, even if they are deep in a sound sleep, almost as soon as they hear my voice, their little noses are popping out of their little ramen noodle box and their looking for me. Doesn't matter what time of day it is. When I come home from the barn at night, they love to come sit on my bed with me and sniff the smells of the horses from the barn, and nibble on something they think smells like food. Without fail. Every time. I love my rats. Until they decide to climb up my coat and play a tightrope walker. That is irritating. Or when they pee on my phone. Or yet still when they walk off my bed onto the little carrying cage next to it so they can sniff around.  But in all honesty, my rats are better than any hamster I have ever had, I can guarantee.
