"Little Escape Artist"
Belle is my little Dumbo Rat escape artist, she can get out of anything! She was just a little baby here. In fact she was no bigger than a mouse in this photo.The first time this happened I was frantic. As soon as I spotted her I remained very calm so as not to scare her and have her hide in some spot that I could not reach her. I called her name very softly, and as soon as she saw me she came running fast as her little rattie feet would carry her. That is when I learned that she tries to escape not to get loose but to come to me. She is such a great little companion, I must admit I really do love this little rat girl.

What an adorable little thing and I love your little story. it reminds of a little hamster I used to have, his name was BooBoo and he came running to wherever I was. When I was in bed I used to call him and suddenly he came running, scrambling up the side of the bed and snuggled under my chin. When he died I was heartbroken,.

This little angel is adorable, great capture! That being said, I am phobic about rats and mice so if she had ran at top speed to me I probably would have climbed the furniture and probably wet my pants. I can handle somewhat if I know there tame and they make no sudden moves. Hearing about such love and devotion from the little sweetie does help me tell myself they ARE o.k., just breath, breath! Priceless capture of her Melinda!
