Starting a family

I ended up deciding to just stick with my original Discworld theme - new rattie is now called Cmot

Timid is not the word - plain petrified is more of a better description

I really think he was hardly handled/around people at all before Spidermouse rescued him - poor guy jumps at most sounds - even the shutter from my camera made him hide

I have no idea what they were feeding him, but from the way his bum is reacting to fresh food, I don't think that was ever on the menu. He also seems to have dry skin - no signs of mites so I'm currently putting that down to his old diet too although I am keeping a close eye on him.
I also think he might be older than the 10months told to Spidermouse - my gut feeling is he might be older than Merlin (13months).

I've got a week off work and he's gonna be getting loads of TLC - possibly planning on a vet trip Thursday or Friday just for a general check over but I'll see how things go first.
