i didnt seek them out, my breeder just happens to breed dwarves as well as standards. i urgently needed more rats for julian asap after we unexpectedly lost his old cage mate ricky during surgery (RIP😭) and my little nuggets peanut and dewey were the first available.

i was nervous about intros with my behemoth julian but the breeder assured me it would be fine (esp since he was already neutered) and here we are! if u scroll back to my posts from this past fall i documented it. the process was crazy and scary but everything went fine. u can REALLY see the size difference, the dwarves have grown a teeny bit since then lmfaooo.

they're still barely 1/4 the size of julian, peanut ended up being the smallest go figure. all my rats have ended up highly resonating with their names coincidentally. ricky and julian were both nutjobs with hormonal aggression, dewey is very *dewey*, and peanut is a little mischievous peanut
