My new pet fish :)
This is what can happen….Well, she was more interested in the water as in the fish.
So, again…..dont try this at home if you have no experience with rats and never leave them alone with the fish :)

Melinda Stewar...
Oh Ellen,
Stop I am hurting from laughing this afternoon! You have just got to put up the last one and title it “Gone Fishing”!
To be honest I don’t know how I lived all of these years not knowing just how wonderful and devoted companion a little rat can be. I have 3 little Dumbo Rats myself. I love every rat photo you have put up.
Ellen replied
Thank you very much Melinda, I am glad you like the photo :)
Gone fishing would have been an excellent title :)
I will look at your photos later, Regards,Ellen.

How’s the fish?
Ellen replied
The fish is back in the petshop and doing fine :)
Gilberte
Planckendael…ja daar ben ik geweest helemaal in het begin…ik geloof dat het afhangt van de Zoo van Antwerpen.Het zal nu meer uitgebreid zijn dan toen ik het gezien heb, maar zeker de moeite waard als men van dieren houdt.Hier worden regelmatig uitstappen georganizeerd naar Planckendael.
Ellen replied
Ben zojuist terug; Ik vind de Zoo veel mooier, maar hier hebben de dieren meer ruimte. Groetjes Ellen.
