A rat and his toys

Posted by: Jan S  :  Category: animals, humor, pets

I came across these photos while surfing the net:

I was wondering if they were part of a group of photos. Alas I found them on one of those free desktop wallpaper sites that gave no credits to the original photographer. I am sure that they might have come from the rat version of LOL Catz. If you know the story behind these photos I would for you to leave a comment. I do believe that the photographer needs the credit here, as he/she is brilliant.

Edited to add:

Thanks to a very helpful reader I now know the photographer and the names of the rats in the photos. The rats are Duck and Worm and they belong to 19 year old Jessica Florence.  Jess wants to be a professional photographer and by the looks of it she is well on her way. Maybe there is a reader out there that will give her, her first assignment. Here is here blog where you can see more of here work. Jessica Florence’s blog.

    Second picture is just adorable. As if the rat is giving the teddy bear to the photographer. (Where did they get such a small teddy bear, I wonder?)

    Hiyah,

    The photos are taken by a girl called Jessica Florence, and you can see them on her website at http://www.jessicaflorence.com/blog/ or if you just want to look at the pictures through her Flickr albums at http://www.flickr.com/photos/necilbug/ . The albums with her rats (Duck and Worm) in are listed down the right-hand side of the page.

    Hope this helps, and you enjoy the many cute pictures of rats!

    I always believe in giving full credit to any of the information or photos here, if I can find it or I will ask my very knowledgeable readers if they know. Most of the time they pull through with the info. I also let the photographer know about this blog post so I am hoping she will chime in.
