Twix

I wanted to take a post, and talk about Twix.

I just got her today, a few hours ago.

She is a female rat, small in nature, and black and white markings. She has a long tail, which she uses to stabilize herself when she is on my shoulder.

I woke up this morning, and decided I should have a companion while living here in Halifax, so during my errands, I headed down to the Pet Unlimited and found her. She was the most active in her cage, and when I asked to see her, she was cuddly and friendly.

I was given a cardboard box to carry her home in, and a bag of food, with instructions to share people food with her whenever possible, as it increases their life span.

I then headed over to the Dollarama where I found a bucket deep and wide enough for her to nest in.

I took 2 buses home, and she was shaking, and has dirtied her box. Once I cleaned her up, and laid some paper towel in her new home, she quickly returned to her less shaky/paranoid version.

Currently her home has a small hand towel, and old sock, a toilet paper roll, 2 sheets of paper towel and some food; which she has pushed to their appropriate corners, and then snuggled under the towel.

She is smart as all get out, and has already learned that she gets a cheerio if she gives me a kiss.
