Authentic Rat Cuisine ... Served with Steamed Rice and Chinese Broccoli with Teryaki Salmon

As for the husbandry department (e.g., feeding and cleaning), I take good care of my pet rat stars.

Ancient Rat Secret ... Shamila's favorite place to dine! This art project began when I was living in Arizona at the time. I was unpacking plus organizing while going through all my Asian collections in boxes stacked against the wall in the living room. Since it was time to move back to California ... My artistic inspirations hit me late in the wee hours of the night. I chose to create a backdrop scene as if my pet rats had a favorite cuisine restaurant to eat at. Interestingly, my best friend aided in the lighting and photography as I filmed directly from behind on a chair with my video camera. My first customer was originally supposed to be Charlisa, however, ShamiLa appeared to be more interested in the atmosphere including the food. Once I saw her natural rat acting or "being herself," we instantly got to work --- added oriental trinkets with mood lighting to really make one feel the rat was truly dining at an elegant restaurant. Moreover, we were reading up on "The Rat Lady's" wisdom on rats and diet foods ... this also simultaneously influenced us to be inspired by the facts of food variety she provides at her website that rats can devour. Therefore, we were having fun while cooking in the kitchen and decided to serve ShamiLa a bit of rice, broccoli, and a tiny portion of Salmon to taste. All of the cleaning, reorganizing, and making food motivated us with rat ambition to quickly design the make-believe restaurant with all my oriental doll-like furniture of fashionable items to set the scene. Altogether, it was fun! ShamiLa and my other rat enjoyed all the healthy food in small portions.

I hope you visit "The Rat Lady's" website for more rat history. "The Rat Fan Club, founded in 1992, focuses on rats as companion animals" (ratfanclub.org/diet.html, 2011). Their goal is to share their love of rats, promote them as companion animals, and spread information about their proper care"(ratfanclub.org/diet.html, 2011). Plus, it's free!

I trust that you'll enjoy meeting her online as well with all the valuable info she shares to rat fans and new ratties. "She has worked in the animal care industry since 1977 and has a background in animal training, nutrition, and animal health care. She graduated from California State University and holds a bachelor of arts degree in animal behavior" (ratfanclub.org/diet.html, 2011).

Debbie ("The Rat Lady") Ducommun discusses rat health food with knowledge that is current. If you visit that web link, it was last updated on 04/19/2011.

The Rat Lady talks about a rats nutritious diet. Example: "Rats, like people, are omnivorous which means they eat both plants and animals. Wild rats eat nuts, seeds, grains, vegetables, fruits, insects, worms, eggs, dead animals, and even frogs, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals that they catch and kill. This means they are partially predatory and have a high requirement for some nutrients that are most abundant from animal sources" (ratfanclub.org/diet.html, 2011).

I am very happy and excited that you think my Pet Rat Stars (ShamiLa) is a cute rat. She is truly a sweet, loving intelligent rat and means the world to me! At times I think she acts very human-like when doing "rat tricks" in addition to her little adorable self showing attention + affection with love to bond as best friends.

Paws up.
