Asha was another rescue along with her sister Adia, that I was unable to adopt out. Managed to find homes for the other 8 rats in the urgent rehoming situation. She is the last of her family, as her 2 brothers Jevy and Sam, and her sister Adia passed on already. Asha is thin due to ongoing paralysis of the hind limbs, but is doing very well with it.
She especially loves when I take her out for scritches and cuddles every night
I never need to bathe her belly as she always manages to keep herself clean...she's a real trier!
She used to be one nutbar of a rat but has finally settled into the loving girl I knew she could be.
She has a big beautiful head I love to rub, and she loves me doing it
Here you can see her disability, she can still use one leg better than the other, and still gets around pretty well surprisingly
A little help while grooming. Because she cannot sit up on her haunches, when she scrubs over her head she doesn't do it very well since her elbows have to be braced on the ground. So I often lift her up and she scrubs to her hearts content.
She adores having her itchy ears rubbed and grinds my hand into the chair...
And then breakfast makes her very bright and happy...she does love her food
Of all the munchkins I have, I did not expect that Asha to make it to 3
