All Things Mini – Pet Rat Mites (not BatMite), SNES Mini, and Our Minimal Love for Blade Runner 2049 (10-11-17 #14)

Liz and Matt talk about new pet rats and rat health issues, Blade Runner 2049, the SNES Mini, and more.

Ratty Topics –  We talk about how our little baby girl pet rat Dawn is fitting in and who’s protecting her in the cage when Pinky got a little aggressive.

Have you ever seen little scabs on your rats and not known what they were? Chances are your rats have mites. We talk about how Cat Revolution is the best treatment for mites, where to obtain it, and how to apply it.

Local Animal News – the two Washington, DC bald eagles have returned to their nest from their summer hiatus! Can we expect another batch of babies soon?

Nerdy Topics – There’s a new goose stealth game due for release in 2018 which looks amazing. It doesn’t have a title yet, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated on new developments. Also in gaming, we created a Nerdy Rat Steam group! We hope to see you there!

And of course, we share our lack of enthusiasm over Blade Runnner 2049 (spoiler – we weren’t impressed!)
