Nicknames for my rats

I found it quite funny how when I initially got my rats I carefully chose the names before I actually got them and over a period of time they have developed nick names, based on their personalities and behaviour... I only realised the other day when I was talking about them and my husband was laughing at what I was calling them

Marley - is referred to as fat man as he is twice the size of the others and is ultra squishy

Jenson - is referred to as Spider rat as he really is like Spider man but in rat form. He pounces from one platform to another and is constantly climbing.

Lewis - is referred to as Blondie and he is the only light coloured one out of the gang, he is also very soft, dizzy... (no offence to any blonde fellow rat lovers lol)

Alfie has kept his original name (not sure why)

Re: Nicknames for my rats

I have done the same with my degus. I spent months planning the names and now they are just known as nything that pops into my mind.

Emmet has become 'mummies little boy' 'ickle fluffy baby' and loads of random stuff like that because he always wants cuddling. xxx

Re: Nicknames for my rats

I'm as bad with the rats as I am with the dogs & cats, all the following are said in a ghastly baby voice as if I'm talking to very young children
Lennon & Irwin are known as the Fat Boys
Bullseye gets called Bullywoolywoo
Lola's known as Scruffy as she's a rex & always looks like a badly washed wool jumper
Spinki's known as Sminki Pinki Spinki (after The Fast Show sketch)
Hyldi is Hyldi Wildi Pildi
Izzy is Izzybooboo
Even the newbies haven't escaped it.......
Tau is Tauey wowie
Ki is Ki Bird
Pippa is Pipsqueak & Pipski
Speedy is just Speedy as I haven't really named him as he's going to his forever home tomorrow
