Bio
Ara is from one of several accidental litters that poor Denise got landed with in January 2010. She was adopted with her 'sister' Morgwynn, who was from a slightly older litter. She's a very sweet girl, with just the cutest white tail tip. From the first moment I met Ara, I knew I had to have her. She's my first agouti girl, and she's just beautiful.
Ara enjoys human company much more than Morgwynn. She will quite happily run to me for a snuggle. She is a very licky girl and will sit on my hand, licking my wrist.
Tales
Cuddles
Aralath loves to snuggle. She is my little sweetie pie. One day in particular, I was reading a book, lying on my bed. The small fuzz were freeranging, and Ara crawled into my hand. She curled her little self up, snuggled into my palm, and went to sleep. Meanwhile... her cagemates went on rampaging and causing trouble! Aralath is my favourite rat for just hanging out with. So calm!
Ara the Sewer Rat
Aralath is a funny little girl. Her newest trick is mobbing me in the shower. She pounces on my foot and licks my ankle. She doesn't mind getting wet at all, and always finishes looking like a little sewer rat.
