It's sad they way people react when they find out you have a pet rat. It's an instant 'Eww' thing for some reason. *shrug* Their loss.

Silky is a agouti hooded rat. So was Fidget - I believe they came from the same litter, but I'm not 100% sure. She likes dried banana chips, but she also loves fresh banana and apples, though she's not especially fond of Granny Smiths. I think they may be too tart for her.
