About Otis

Otis was a tiny tiny little ratlet when he arrived here, but he's put all his effort into changing that and is now becoming a big lardball. Strange because they don't get any more food than the other cages. My Oatibix is a little shy on occasion, always the last out of the cage and turns round to run away when I try to pick him up. He doesn't enjoy outings, unlike his cagemates, and prefers to stay at home where it's safe. Despite this, I believe he is the alpha in his cage as he's the only one who can be bothered about such things.
