BTW, some of my male rats have been escaping, wandering around, and then returning home as they please. How are they escaping?? They are squeezing through a square opening in a metal grate just under 1.5 inches wide!  These guys are not small, and about a third bigger than their sisters. Oh, my! |

Their soft bodies can obviously compress a lot more than I expected.  The Incredible Shrinking Thorax! |

For a discussion of Sinterklaas please start a separate thread in members Only. But for now, just a touch of him. . . Sinterklaas (also called Sint Nikolaas in Dutch (pronunciation (help·info)) and Saint Nicolas in French) is a holiday tradition in the Netherlands and Belgium, celebrated every year on Saint Nicholas' eve (December 5) or, in Belgium, on the morning of December 6. The feast celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. . . The "black Petes" are very interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SinterklaasBut please start a separate thread on this topic in Members Only. |
