All these PEW are soo cute!!! I have a PEW girlie named Snowball that's almost a year now. She is massive compared to my other girls!! She is such a sweethart and probably one of the most social rats I've ever had. A local teacher I know had snowball as a class pet for her first graders (Snowball was welltaken care of and she just loved kids!!) Snowball had visited on a couple of occassions with my other girls, but finally near the beginning of June I was asked to be a permament home for her!! She's like a big, white ball of fun!  I also happen to have two black-hoodie girls, in fact one of which is climbing down the back of my shirt right now! I love PEWs!!!!!    Grin

I seek out whiteys Smiley. This was my first, Plonk. I swear, he's not dead in the picture!
He was just old, blind, and slept with his eyes open in awkward places.

They area all so cute!  I was tempted to bring home a PEW of my own on Sunday when I went to the HS to drop off some donations.  They had only one rat there, a PEW, but it was a girl - not gonna work with my unneutered boys!  I've been to several pet stores in the last few days too looking for different things, and didn't see one PEW at any of them!

My very first rats were PEWs, Timothy and Sweethart (it's not misspelled, she was named after my favorite candy back then).  I got them from a classmate whose rat had an accidental litter.  I lost Sweethart after only a few months, but Timothy was with me for 6 plus years.  Back then I didn't realize that 6 years was so unusual. 

Currently, I have a little PEW girl named Ruby.  She used to be a classroom pet, but was left at a local vets last December when she developed a tumor that grew so big it was freaking out the students.  She was also diagnosed with cataracts due to retinal degeneration.  Since then she's had 2 more tumors removed; 1 malignant and a number of cysts have formed.  She's been through so much, yet she's the most lovey, licky girl I've ever met.

PEWs must be much less common over here or something. I've only ever had one, just because he is who crossed my path. I'm getting a PEW double rex girl at the end of the month and you guys made me extra excited LOL. Maybe next time I'm up in Brisbane I'll run over to the Brissy Rat Rescue and grab one or two. Wink

What beautiful pics, Alybaba!  He's gorgeous!  Very creamy looking. 

I reposeted the original post to the UK Fancy Rats forum.  Apparently they see much less PEWs over there, but anything with red eyes suffers a disadvantage when people adopt, especially Himis which are very common there. I wonder why that is? 

Edited to include a link:

Just look at how many PEWs are currently in the Mainely Rat Rescue!  It looks to be almost half their rats!  Many of the others are black hooded...kinda sad just how many PEWs though.

Good luck with that, it took me aaaages to find a PEW, I'd always wanted a white rat so I'd been searching for PEW's for a while. I thought my boy Scooter was a ruby eyed white when I got him before I knew anything of Aussie rat varieties, turns out he's a silvered dove  . I eventually found one at the fairfield RSPCA when I went to adopt some meece and I fell in love. He was all alone in a filthy cage (and had been there for over a month), and someone had obvioulsy smashed his tail in the door, but it's all better now, and he's an absolute sweetheart. It was obviously meant to be because even my mad mink Skutter had no issues in meeting him, and normally if he so much as sniffs another rat, *poof* mink dunny brush  Yellow Cute Laugh

Without further waffling here's Hamish!

People comment about how the red eyes on my himi look evil, but he is just the sweetest little fatty ratty ever. Nobody ever said that about the red eyes on my beige girl or platinum boy either. Maybe they don't look evil because they are dumbo, or maybe because they aren't white with red eyes.

It really is sad. Sad Personally, I believe PEWs are the most beautiful of rats. They're just wicked hard to photograph in a way that shows that beauty off, lol. And they're a little harder to keep clean looking, hehe.

Here's my girl, Squirrel. She's super dirty in this picture.

*thud*


oh now that is too cute!!!   Look at the stuffy with Pearl!   ACK!  Heart

I have had a few people remark on the "evil" eyes... but you're right... mostly for rats with white coats.  Huh  (People are so strange, "Eww.. those eyes are awfully creepy."  -- is acceptable to say to me but not to say to a dog or cat owner.)

And yes to Twixter -- they are so hard to take pics of!!!  (your little one is uber cute though!)  I  hate using flash to take pics of PEWs.  I don't like the "glowing eye" effect in the pictures but often it's unavoidable.  Maybe we need a photographer here or one of you that takes glorious pics to help us.

I take them without flash and then lighten the photo with a photo-editor or use the low-light settings on my camera.

It always surprises me that people don't pick the PEW's!
I mean, ratbabies are cute, but PEW's, those little cottonballs with pink eyes are the most adorable!

Thanks for the compliments on my Pearl!  I love her pink eyes.  She is a double rex girl so she looks like she is all pink a lot of the times.  And that is the Webkinz Mouse in the photos...also named Pearl.  LOL. ...cuz I am creative!
