Dude and Slick were bought at a local pet store on June 13, 2008. Their actual home was a few doors down from Vermin Brewing, but they were considered honorary members. A week later, Taz ("the Spaz") joined them from the same pet store. He had apparently had made such an impression that his new owner had to go back for him.
A young Dude
It's easy to see how Slick got his name.
Taz enjoys his perch.
Dude causing trouble...
... and more trouble.
In June 2009, the rats officially moved into the Vermin Brewing home since their owner no longer had the room to care for them. They used to all live together in their own rat room, cage-free, but as they got older, they started having more and more fights. So they had to unfortunately be split up, each getting his own cage. It took them some getting used to but now they seem to enjoy their own private space. There are still plenty of outtings for playtime... although mostly they just enjoy being couch potatos!
A rare quiet moment together for Dude and Slick
Taz pins Dude in a fight... but Dude hardly seems to care.
The wicker basket "toy"
Dude peeks in on Slick and Taz.
Taz... hellooooooo down there!
Slick slips into the dark basket....
...although he can't seem to figure out how the roof keeps opening on him.
Dude struggles (less than gracefully) to get out.
The wicker hut "toy"
Taz is king of the hut!
Slick answers the door.
Slick prefers to sit on the table instead of in the lounge chair.
Taz checks to see who's there.
