VIDEO: A rattie jumps enthusiastically to leap a troublesome exploration barrier (sealed baby gate in a single bound. They fail. They line up again and whilst it wasn't a single bound it absolutely was a success!
#Nancy knows that you have to be patient when you have little ones living with you, especially when they use you as a step-ladder... *sigh*

Baby's first corn is pretty tricky!
Points to #Audrey (baby) for giving it a go regardless!

VIDEO: A young rattie fearlessly investigates a corn on the cob, complete with husk which had been hung in her colony space as enrichment. The cob of corn is approximately 3 x Audrey's size and she doesn't care.
#Aegi: I'll just take a little bit for me and a little bit for second breakfast.

#Mitski and #Mala seem to be in absolute heaven in a tub of shredded paper they are chilling in whilst their colony space is cleaned by their hooman servants.
Make sure you watch to the end for proof that their are two ratties in this video and not one rattie and pile of possessed paper shred!

What better way to start your Thursday then with a generous serve of popcorn!
Please enjoy the chaos of these little beans that #VollieCat is looking after at the moment!

VIDEO: 37 seconds of young rats popcorning in and around the bonofido cage and table they are on. It is exactly as much delightful chaos as you would expect!
#Petal knows you can not always be on the escape!
If you are, you would miss out on fruit puree, and that would be a sad day indeed!

VIDEO: A mismarked rattie sits on her humans should enjoying a large helping a puree from a pouch.
It's time for a PSA from #Mitski #RRHFamily
Today's PSA is all about how it is VERY important to appropriately stash your nutrigrain when the volunteers dish it out.
If you don't correctly stash your nutrigrain you might find that the vollies think you have had enough and they will stop handing it out.
Of course, there are many places to stash your nutrigrain but my person preference is the litter tray...yep - no one is stealing my snacks! Plus, the Vollies will think it is litter and I am starving so they will give me more treats.
Ok, well I gotta run, just need to go convince the vollies I need some more treats!

VIDEO: A small agouti-hooded rattie is stashing pieces of nutrigrain in the back corner of a bright yellow litter tray and ducking to get more from the vollie handing them out.
There are so many ways you (yes, you) can help out the rescue.
Thank you to a wonderful community member #Sophie, who donated a bunch of quail eggs to the rescue residents for enrichment!
Do you have the capacity to shred newspaper?
A prolific, pesticide free home garden?
Maybe you have an absurd collection of toilet paper rolls that can be turned into enrichment items.
There are plenty of ways to benefit the rescue if you'd like to help out!
Just reach out to Tyler and Tara, our awesome Vollie Co-Coordinators via [email protected] to see what you can do to help us #savelittlelives.

Want to know how much impact you can make as an #RRHVollie, #RRHFosterCare or an RRH Adopter giving a #fureverfamily to one of our #RRHResidents?
Here is a video of #VollieSuz giving #Esteban scritches (it was actually 2 WHOLE MINUTES of scritchies. #Esteban even finished up with some kisses.
#Esteban used to have zero tolerance for touch. Absolutely zero. Nada. Not at all. No consent. No touchie!
With time, trust and the absolute respect of #Esteban's safety and boundaries - this darling boy opened up to being loved on by his favourite hoomie - #VollieSuz!
Not gonna lie - this kinda success had us all in joyful tears when #VollieSuz shared the news!

#MummaBetty is in maternity care at the moment given that she is raising her second back-to-back litter in addition to her first litter and the babies of a Mumma from the same situation who didn't make it.
This video shows #MummaBetty enjoying some of the special supportive milk that we give Mum's and bubs to help with their wellbeing and nutrition - this is especially important given the state of malnutrition they arrived in.
You have probably seen the fundraisers we have been sharing over the last week to help us raise funds for veterinary care - well ratties like #MummaBetty and her babies are the rats these funds are helping!
If you haven't donated (and can) please do - we have at least another $3300 we need to try and raise to meet the next lot of vet-care we have pending for #RRHResidents.
If you have donated - THANK YOU, from all of us!
If you can, please comment, like and share our fundraising efforts with your communities so we can continue to raise much needed funds at this critical time.
