Zipper

Black hooded

DOB:  ~ 



About Zipper

We adopted Zipper (and his buddy Dash) from a member of our local rat club.  A pair of adorably cute and incredibly boisterous little 5 week old fuzzlets.

Zipper (aka Zip, ZipZap, Zap, Zippety DooDaa) was so named because he's always zipping about in a frenzied blur of excitement, and his hood stripe looks like a zipper down his back.  This rat can MOVE!  Before we'd even adopted him at 5 weeks of age he already had the record for zooming through the club's rat maze.  He has the most glossy dark black and glaringly white fur, with gorgeous black dots on his belly and a half black and half white tail.  His fur is super-soft - he's lovely snuggled under your chin for the split second before he climbs inside your shirt and scrabbles all about until you're all scratched and laughingly begging someone to "Get him out!  Get him out!".

Zip's an in-your-face, outgoing, over-enthusiastic, over-energetic, tirelessly playful little fuzz, who is constantly getting into trouble.  His favourite past time is digging underneath the play table cover and shoving his way around until he knocks all the toys off the table.  And chasing Dash about and wrestling madly.

A gorgeous fuzzy face.


He has such a cheeky expression (that's his buddy Dash on the left).


His black "zipper" down his back.


Ever inquisitive, climbing my bookmark.


Always on the move.


He has a slight attitude problem.


He loves to play in the water bowl.


Too many whiskers.
