Pay attention to meeeeee!
Quistis (who we refer to as my husband's rat since he picked her out) reaches for my finger through the bars because she wants attention and lovings and treats. Mostly treats though. She is a female 'mink' dumbo rat. The mink is her coat color which is a really beautiful silky greyish brown, and the dumbo means her ears are set lower on the sides of her head in a kinda goofy fashion.
This is the last of the rattie photos. I'll pad it out with some artwork ;)

I'm really amazed I found a mink in a pet store. All the other minks I've seen belonged to professional breeders. My favorite coloration though are still the Siamese rats. There's nothing cuter than having a seal point rat :)
Here's a video of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZpF7wJOUi8

By strange coincidence today I met a nice lady who had two "Helper" rats with her. The dark grey "Dumbo" she named "Nicodeimus" after the Wise old rat from "The secret of NIMH." We had a nice chat about helper rats, and I came away with a good impression, despite spending years dealing with the "Wild Cousins" of domesticated rats. The animals seemed pretty intelligent too.
