Bumble Bee is a burmese colored rat. He is originally from Rat Fancy Rattery, but I adopted him from Ratty Rat Rattery. He was born July 7, 2009 making him about 26 1/2 months. Bum has been with me for about 14 months. He's always been a fairly healthy, hardy ratty boy. A bit of a bully with the rats but sweet as can be with his human family. A week after he turned 2, Bum came down with a URI. He recovered and then relapsed and had to be seperated from the others for a couple of weeks while he recovered. After gaining his strength back he was re introduced to the other 5 and so far they are doing well. I do seperate him for a couple hours a day to allow him to have his veggies and other yummies as he is no longer the tough macho boy he used to be and the others tend to bully and steal food from him. He is father to Kimber and grandfather to Brie, Havarti, Fontina, and Colby. He likes to eat and does not discriminate - I could tell you most of the ratties favorite treats, Bumble Bee likes everything. He's not a big hammock fan, he prefers the igloos. When out, he pretty much stays on me and lets the "younger" boys do their own thing.
