Ozy is my Agouti doe she about 1 1/4 years old. When she was younger she was very timid, I think this was because Perdie was the dominant rat, but now she is very friendly although she still has her moments. Probably the funniest thing Ozy has ever done is one time she jumped from the sofa onto my dog Tula's back, Tula was quite surprised! 

Ozy is quite a dominant rat but at the same time like to chatter away at her mummy when it comes to playtime. Recently Ozy had to be taken to the vet where she had a tumor removed and is now fine. She is quite a large doe but is also very pretty.

I collected Ozy and Darla from the Penwood show last year and they where bred by Pip Walford. 

August 6th 2001. Ozy was put to sleep after an operation to explore a second lump that made her look fat rather then ill (which is why I left it longer then I should have). It turned out that she had a womb infection and there was nothing that could be done for her. It was all very sudden and upsetting but I'm glad she is no longer in pain.

                    31/05/00 This Ozy outside in my old rabbit run, looking v.cute!  

 

These three photos are a selection of some I took the other day (31/05/01), I was really pleased with them, but you know how it goes? some days they work, some days the don't, but she was being very cute and helpful. In the last one you can see where the fur is growing back from where she the tumor removed.
