Pepper

Pepper, female black mismarked hooded fancy/pet rat

D.O.B: approx Apr/May 2007

Variety: mismarked black hooded

Health: Respiratory infection Nov '07, subsequent ongoing snotty nose

Pepper was rehomed here in early July 2007 along with Mustard when they were advertised free to a good home on a local website as their original owner had got two kittens and no longer wanted the rats. They settled in with the other rats with a minimum of fuss and took a couple of weeks to get used to being picked up. Pepper loves to play. She is a very enthusiastic groomer and does a wonderful head massage. She can get a bit rough though and likes to bite ears, yank on earrings, strangle me with my necklace and grabs at eyes! She is one of my OH's favourites and he likes to tease her by blowing on her which she responds to by bouncing up to his shoulder and biting his ears! She isn't vicious though, just a big mischief.
