Whiskers and Nibbles in the Sunlight

Whiskers twitch and round ears perk up as this little rat huddles close, bright-eyed and ready to scurry. He holds his paws tucked in, nose pointed forward as if he’s caught a secret scent. The tip of his long, curling tail rests beside his back foot, drawing a wiggly path across the page.

His fur looks soft and silky, with big, gentle eyes peeking out from above chubby cheeks. You can almost hear his tiny feet patter and his nose wiggle with every quick sniff. Every line and curve invites color, from his large pink ears to the stripes along his lively tail.

Fun Fact!

A rat might "brux" or grind its teeth when it's feeling content or relaxed, similar to a cat purring. It can also do this when stressed.
