Adorable Rat Musicians by Ellen van Deelen

Aug 6, 2012 3 comments

Using food treats, Dutch photographer and artist Ellen van Deelen taught her rodent pets Moppy and Witje to pose with a variety of tiny props including musical instruments such as pan pipes, guitars, flutes and trombones. Deelen said she came up with the idea after seeing a tiny guitar for sale in a shop window. She claimed her pets are very intelligent who picked up the knack in no time.

'They know exactly how to pose and both are really talented actors. We have a really good understanding. They always know what I am saying.'
