Ratties' Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!!!  
I wish you all a wonderful day full of love and happiness

Sorry I've not been active lately, I'm very busy at the moment, I've not been able to reply to all your notes yet (I know many of you asked about rats, I'll try to reply asap, I promise !)

Anyway, here's the "Valentine's day dose of cuteness". And nope, the tails are not photoshopped (except for a very small spot I removed on Lorich's tail since he had some pomegranate juice on it >_<), I spent a loooong time petting them enough so they'd get very comfy and sleepy so I could both arrange their tails into a heart shape AND have the time to take some shots. I don't think I could redo this shot, they couldn't stop moving

Both the ratties here are males, I'm not a breeder, I've only got bucks so... these two are just friends


Lorich, siamese seal point hooded mismarked velveteen rat, born june the 1st, 2010 (his eyes are really that dark).

Arkanys, black irish dumbo rex rat, born April the 16th 2010.

Both are the sweetest ratties ever, always asking for cuddles, licking my hands, they are also very playful and loooove to sleep on my knees
