Description This picture is featured in my rat photography book Fancy Rats - Portraits and Stories  published by Amherst Media

Onyx, an adorable rat I photographed some years ago. She belonged to my friend Lyka, and was extremely curious and gentle... she had never seen me before yet she immediately went begging for cuddles and started eating the tasty bits of fruits I gave her right away.
Can you resist that cute little face?

They really are aren't they! I put mine in my fluffy dressing gown pockets and they snuggle in there too ☺️ do yours know their names? <3

I don't have ratties anymore as my last one passed away from old age two years ago and I have moved to Canada into an animal-free place since (landlord won't allow it), but when I still had rats they all new their names indeed! 
They were sooo smart, so sweet and playful <3

How many rats do you have? ^^

Why hasn't it started on the kiwi yet?! Mine would snatch anything remotely edible from my hands and run away to hide. 😂

She already had, as you can tell by all the kiwi juice on her whiskers... she just ate the part that is hidden on the picture

It's beautiful but what give you the idea to put a rat next to a kiwi on a honeycomb like background?
