Rubble rousers

Digging up the floor!





Now we are so sore.



But there are only six rows more!

Alfie opens can of pringles

I was looking through my rattie pictures and found some old 30 second clips of Alfie, opening a (mostly empty) can of Pringles. His method was basically to make holes in the lid around the edge till he got a strip of it detached, and then pulled on that to take off the lid. Alfie was also the one who figured out how to twist open the yoggie jar and then taught Monty how to do it. The third clip is my favourite. It cracks me up everytime I watch it.

Alfie was such a great rat.


First clip: Alfie notices the can and decides to try opening it. With his teeth.



Second clip: Alfie really gets going, hauling the can to his play area and trying to get a better hold on it.



Third clip: About twelves minutes after the first clip, he does it! Hooray! Hilarity ensues.



We miss you Alfie!
