These Adorable Rat Artists Create Some Remarkably Beautiful Miniature Art

Humans are considered as the most intelligent creatures on Earth. Yet we're only around 0.1% of the total biomass. However we, together with other animals including insects make up to 13.4% of it. Some among them turn out to be good artists just like humans. 

Here, you'll be getting to know about little rat artists who create cute rat arts. By the way, these rats not only create art but also they sell.

Steph Toogood who owns these artistic rats, hasn’t even dreamed of owning a fantasy rat art business. She once shared her story on the origin of this project as follows;

“The idea of painting on canvases came to me after I lost one of my boys, Captain Jack Sparrow (Gibbs’ brother) last year (2018).”

At the moment mentioned above, Steph had been working at the vets with a lot of pets around and suddenly got the idea of taking some paw prints of Jack after his death.

“Thereafter, I planned to do something new and creative to keep my boys with me even when they are gone. Therefore, I started taking their footprints on mini canvases as memorial pieces for me. As Steph Toogood loved taking pictures, she snapped pictures of her rat pets next to their little pieces of art. Many people wanted to buy those arts after posting them on social media.

Toogood’s paw arts were first created on 20th of April, 2019.

There are 12 rats in this artsy collection now. However, Steph said that her rats are her best friends though they've become artists now. Some rat boys in the group are target trained to make the task quite easier. "We also have a miniature agility course which some of them are really good at!," shared Toogood.

Toogood's Tiny Paws page does not only contain rats' art. It also promotes keeping rats as pets and rat welfare.

Steph's stores contain a number of products featuring rats' art. Keyrings, hair scrunchies and coasters for example. There are times at which they run out of stocks as the demand increases.
