Ok internet!!! After SO LONG! I’ve FINALLY smashed my bluetooth dongle uploaded some pictures of lil’ Minkie (Name courtesy of Nad) growin’ up!
Everyone, take a deep breath! Those of you who absolutely hate rodents or rats, please leave.
Since young, Minkie knew how to handle the paparazzinis….
TALK TO MY HAND!
She was cat food…..
Just kidding….
Eyes not open yet….
Remember she has a broken foreleg?
Actually, now both her forelegs are broken. Yet she can run as fast as any other rats. 
Munching on tofu~!
Look at how tiny she was!
Well then she grew… growth spurt, you know?
She no longer lives in this tank. Have upgraded her to a better ventilated cage. I’m still looking around for bigger and more secure rat cages for her. If you know where I can get sturdy metal cages suitable for rats, do let me know!
Nice palm size now!
Minkie’s rather shy. I would let her run around the room but she’d always hide behind me or run up my jeans *rolls eyes*. She’s pretty afraid of loud noises like doors opening, doors closing, loud talking etc. But she never ever bites. Even when I jam my finger between the grills of the cage, she only licks me. 
Really sweet lil’ girl!
I still give her tummy rubs and she’d hold still. Otherwise she’d be trying to run from hand to hand.
She isn’t fond of fresh veggies, to my dismay. Any veggy in her cage would be dried up the next day.
Once, I could hold her with two fingers. She’s so grown up now.
My collegues and I love her alot.
You’ve come a long way my child…
By the way, I recorded some videos of her suckling from a syringe when she was much younger. It’s in .3pg format (I used my SE phone). Can someone tell me how can I convert it so that everyone can view it? Do I upload it to YouTube? Hehehe. Thanks a bunch!
