Nibbles lives with Lisa Schreiber
in New York. Lisa
writes, “Nibbles is our Siamese rat. She was very
fearful when we first got her but has come around quite nicely. My
daughter enjoys her thoroughly and they spend a lot of time out and
about the house together. My daughter carries her about in a
little fleece bag, in her bathrobe pocket or just on her
shoulders. I think Nibbles especially enjoys being in the bag as she climbs
in and out of it as she pleases when my daughter places it down. Nibbles is
also one smart cookie! We recently had to purchase a new cage in which the
bottom tray was made from metal. The previous cage lasted three months
as it had a plastic tray on the bottom which the rats chewed through.
We discovered it one morning when we went in to
give the gang their morning treat and four little heads popped
out from various places in the room. Not one rat was in the cage. Anyway,
when I put everyone into the new cage, Nibbles was the only one who ran
directly to the corner that previously had the hole and began furiously
digging at it. Right then and there, I knew who the culprit was!”
