This is not a dunk or a serious post either. I just figured I can post this cutie with minimal pushback bc he is just so beautiful. Meet Bun the rat.

Sadly he died almost a year ago, but he was extremely lovely and kind. Say something nice (or mice) about him, or share your (nice) rodent stories

Alright, I already fucked up, but I meant to upload this cutie

Deleting this thread would be literal 1984 (or Mice-teen-eighty-four... look I'm not good when it comes to puns)

Rodents are friends and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise!

I kept rats for a few years. I had a baby who could slip between the bars. I worried about it for days before i noticed they never went far and would always go back to the other rats.

They're such sweeties but they live such short lives. A lot of mine were rescues so they were already a year old when i got them. It was just heartbreaking watching them go so soon.

When i had my first death i did a whole viking funeral. I wrapped her in linen, built a little ship out of cardboard and tape. I packed it with yogurt drops and toys and her favorite rag. I sent an invitation out on fb just because, and twenty people showed up to bear witness as i lit the fire and pushed her little boat out in to the lake.

My best friend had a blue rat named silky (not actually blue blue, like pitbull blue) and she used to snuggle with and annoy his cats all the time they were super cute together.
