My little boy looking cute (he actually wanted me to pick him and give him cuddles and was doing anything he could to make my heart melt :aww:)


Fenrir, irish agouti rex rattie, born March, the 8th 2010

I adopted him so Ægir and Arkanys can have a young friend to play with. He comes from an unwanted litter from a rescue doe who was meant to feed a snake... The snake didnt eat her and she gave birth to 9 babies two day after she has been rescued. She has remained aggressive due to the high stress caused by the snake but her pups are just adorable :heart:
The girl who rescued Fenrir's mother did a great job with the babies, they adore people :heart:

Fenrir is a doll, the most playful rat I've ever had. He fears nothing, loves everybody, takes food in everyone's hand, adores licking people's hands and always climbs on my boyfriend and me. He already loves us to death and would do anything to stay on us the whole day, playing with our hands.

He is a gorgeous and very very friendly little boy :love:

This picture is absoloutly excellent; this caught my eye as soon as I saw it and I had to come and see it closer.
At first I thought it was fake, it was too detailed, and wonderful to be a photograph- but I was most definatly proven worng ! Your skills for photography are outstanding !

I just adore how you have managed to capture your little boy's fur; it's as if he was actually posing for the camera.

Your composition is also quite interesting- How you have captured him toward the right of the picture and his tail blurring out to the left is fantastic, it allows your eyes to go straight to him and look closely at the details.

I also enjoy seeing how the light has reflected onto him, different colours making it a lot more interesting and all the more cute - almost like a small fantasy room !

I have to say that this is one of my most favourite Photographs that I have ever seen; and I've been taking a Photograohy course for three years. I'm happy you've shared this adorable photograph with all of us, thank you !
( I think this picture is much too perfect to get anything bad said about it; closly examining it over and over, it only gets better. )

From the thumbnail I thought that perhaps this was a watercolour or pencil artwork. Gorgeous colours and lighting!

really beautifull shot!
I have read your "important notice", but don't understand if I'm allowed to draw your rat? It'd be for personal use of course and I'd credit u if I upload it somewhere...
btw I really love how you really love those animals and really love them too ;-)

Adorable. I for one LOVE snakes, as much as I do rats, mice, and the like, but that is a cruel thing when the rat is expecting. Yes, snakes must eat too, but it really is a great thing that she lived and her pups are beautiful, from what I see. : D I've always wanted a rat as a pet, but my mom won't let me on account of our 3 cats (all indoor, all declawed, and one incredibly FAT) and a Pomeranian, saying that we have too many animals anyway.

But he's adorable; your photography is original, and beautiful. It portraits him so wonderfully, it displays his personality so well...gosh, I just love this.

Hi - I tried sending this comment the other day but either the computer got it wrong or you deleted it? I was wondering if I could buy the non exclusive right to use your pic as a basis for a piece of art I wish to make - I will send this message to your personally when I work out how!

Hi, I would like to know if I could buy the non exclusive rights to this picture so I can turn it into art for apparel?
