Mooshika.org - Welcome! Bienvenue!

In the Hindu religion, rats represent foresight and prudence, and white ones are very lucky. Mooshika is the name of the steed that Ganesh - god of new beginnings and of fire, knowledge, wisdom, literature and worldly success - rides upon. The steed, of course, is the intelligent and gentle rat. “Mooshika” means “little hoarder.”


Dans la religion hindoue, les rats représentent la prévoyance et la prudence, les blancs étant considérés comme particulièrement chanceux. Mooshika est le nom du destrier de Ganesh – dieu des nouveaux départs, du feu, du savoir, de la sagesse, de la littérature et du succès matériel. Ce destrier, bien sûr, est un digne représentant de la race douce et intelligente des rats. Le nom ''Mooshika'' signifie petit amasseur.

My idea of rattie heaven

Jo has adopted several pets through Small Victories, and has been part of the rescue community as long or longer than I have. I recognize several of her boys as being brothers/sons of rats I have had through SV and some of which I still have (the agouti-hooded dumbos, for instance, are the sons of my evil/adorable little pipsqueak Missy); several also came through from New Brunswick (brothers to Missy's cagemate Melonie).

Anyway, Jo has successfully integrated 17 (try to count them!) boys. Adopters who've come to my house consider my place rattie heaven - well, this is my idea of rattie heaven!

(And a very good argument as to why it's fantastic fun to adopt all the same-sex siblings in a litter, hint hint - we have adopted out two of Sicero's four sons from the first litter; girls still available, and 10 pink babies to account for in 5 weeks time!)
