Photos and Text Rebekah Blackwolf

'Nuts' the rat and 'Milko' the mouse. Full grown adult male rat compared to full grown adult male mouse.

'Vincent'

'Meeko' the rat.

Charmaine holding 'Mortimis' the rat and Kym looking on.

'Nahdine' and her 3-4 week old litter.

'Meeko' and her unexpected litter or when one rat turns into nine rats! She is one of the first adult strays I ever received along with her sister 'Daisy.'

Three year old Taylor and 'Chrystelle'

The Boys! 'Itchy', 'Conhan' and 'Enunon'

'Alkinta' and her day old litter.

'Hoody'

'Raister' recovering from middle ear infection. This is common (unfortunately) amongst domestic rats - either caused by the rats suceptibility to cancer (tumors) or actual infection or colds.

'Mortimis' (Big Boy!)

Girls day out! Amongst them 'Nahdine' and 'Chrystelle'.

'Meeko' the rat.

Tysha saying hello to Pest.

Gorgeous George.

Kymberly and friend.

Leonora after we washed the car oil off her coat.

D'Vern da Vermin as a baby.

I like to call this one 'Reconciliation'. It is a photo of Violet and Leonora sharing a couch with my old English Pointer, a hunting breed, named Brown-Ears.

Violet aged 8 weeks.

Mortimis.

Jasmine.

Gangrel.

My babies.

Taylar and Pest.

"Can I have a pat of the rat please?" Tysha asks Taylor (both are aged three years - the rat is aged 1 year).

Dove and her apple.

Merle Davey meets Mortimis for the first time.

Hoody and his father Templeton.

A four day old baby rat next to a cigarette. I took this one on impulse when a smoker friend visited one day. This is how tiny and helpless a laboratory rat begins its life, born into a cruel environment. Human babies are so different to rat infants, yet our drugs are sold based on tests carried out on other species. The only times human children are born like this rat is when the drugs tested on animals fail. When was the last time you saw a hairless human infant born with their eyes and ears sealed shut? Only when vivisection proves wrong yet again!

My friend Shane was short of accommodation for a rat and her young he obtained, so he set up the old television for them until larger housing was found. Shane is a man of great inventions.

My sister Margaret and Socrates.

My rabbits, Leonora - frount, and Violet -back. Leonora was taken from the RSPCA, where I worked as a volunteer. She was covered in oil after being dumped at a mechanic's garage.

Dove.

My lovely boy Elric. He knew how to pose for photos.
