IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE PROFILE PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN ADD - I don't add people I can't read about beforehand!!!
I also do not add Star Wars/Stormtrooper/501st people on this space, please see my other site at www.tk2441.co.uk
Fuzzbutt consists of me, my squishy rat Winston, my sewing machine, and The FuzzFactory Dudes who work alongside me. It was dreamed up the day I decided I wanted funkier cage accessories for my rats, in a range of cool colourful fabrics.
I joined MySpace because (despite it being an arse to set up and configure) everyone seems to be on here, so I'm looking to meet all the Fuzzy owners out there.
Check out our website at www.fuzzbutt.co.uk but please drop in here occasionally to see what's going on, view pics, and read my blog.
I have kept rats for 12 years, there isn't a better pet you can have - they are fantastic, with the same character as dogs only smaller, cuter and cheaper. I get pissed off when people say "eww rats, horrid disease ridden creatures", which is bollocks. Would you compare your labrador to a wild dog? Well don't compare pet rats to wild rats, the difference is massive.
When I am not sewing Fuzzbutt gear I am an Imperial Sandtrooper with the UK Garrison, part of the 501st Legion - the worlds biggest and best Star Wars costuming club. The Garrison raise £40k per year for children's charities and we go all over the country to events, get mobbed, photographed, and have a ton of fun!! www.ukgarrison.co.uk. I'm currently building a Ghostbuster outfit and also a Biker Scout.
In 2008 I am learning to first fly Power kites, then I'm going to learn to Kite Surf. I've also got a set of Powerizers and will be learning not to kill myself on them too :D
Best of all in 2008 I am going to the BURNING MAN FESTIVAL in Nevada - www.burningman.com. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!
I would love to go next year! it must be a night to remember. I added the club to my friends. Yes, I have had rats for about 10 years now but never breed them, I don't really get the time and they have such large litters! but the babbies look so beautiful at 2 weeks (been looking at your websites). I wish rats lived a little longer, theyre such gorgeous natured animals and it's sad they only have a short life :o( My favourite is a little girl called Claudia, she's a beautiful little blonde thing and she's just the sweetest! I love the double cozy bed thing you have, do you make them in chew resistant fabric? I have a naughtly little girl called Nancy who ruins everything! she dragged my curtains in her cage once! Have you ever owned a hairless rat? I've seen pictured but never got close to one. I think theyre adoreable. xx
Thanks for the info, I've just checked out your friend's page and OMG! it looks so beautiful I want to cry! wow, that club is my idea of heaven. You're a storm trooper! that's so cool, I'm a big starwars fan too. Oh, I love your pet cubes etc, I'm going to check out your website now as I have 5 little girl rats and they deserve a treat as theyre cage is looking a big boring. Keep up with the sewing, I've improved so much in the last 5 years since I started anything is possible now! xx
Ratty LOVES his snooze cube...almost as much as me! I'll take a pic when my broken camera is fixed. I will defo be ordering more, great service too, really fast delivery and the treats for Ratty were a super cool suprise
What is the difference between sherpa and polar fleece please? My little ratty gets his nails stuck to fleece all the time! I love your website and your co-workers are so cute!
I got the cubes yesterday. Thank you so much for the stars and stripes, that was super nice of you.
Five out of six of my girls love the fortresses but Lilly my oldest seems to be very mad I took the old ones out. I put the stars one in their other cage (I have two cages connected by a tube) and this morning she was over there all by herself while everyone else was piled high in the fortresses. She is pretty set in her ways, it is so funny how they react to change. Flower (my super chewer) has already attempted to chew on the fortresses but after a few minutes she gave it up and went on about her business. So, so far no holes, YEAH.
I will send pictures of the new cubes and their furry models, soon.
Hello there Thank you for being our friend! Findafurry doesn't actually rehome animals ourselves - we provide a site for everyone with animals to rehome to advertise. So our Findafurry Code aims to ensure advertisers are keeping up good standards of animal welfare, but it is up to those advertisers to check the people who they are homing the animals to. By putting the two parties directly in touch, they can both be in a position to assess whether they're happy with the other. The main benefit of Findafurry is that by pulling everyone together, we can get a lot more people looking for their new pets on the site and hopefully be really successful at finding animals new homes.
Im hopefully going snowbaording at the snowdome this week..im hoping i havent forgot all the basic's! and i loved diving, i was terrified off the sea, but diving really help. I love ur snooze cubes btw, as soon as im paid my chin is getting one!! i love those camo ones!!!
There are some pics of my girls in the cubes that I bought from you. They love them thanks. Next time I will have to get the ones for chewers, my Flower loves to rearrange the inside of her bedroom so you can see in one of the pics where she redecorated =)
