there are no foxes this month
but if you mean last month they were based on unusual fruit

While I will sometimes update pets before they grow, I have actually been working on these rats for months before release. I gave a big hint by saying to keep them away from the ponies/cows and a couple people guessed the theme (awesome job to those who got it!).
In my time being an artist for CS I've had lots of users guess themes or outcomes way before they grow or are obvious, some are scarily accurate... I'm always impressed by those who guess correctly, even if I don't say anything so I don't ruin the surprise! ^^
Finally, yes, these are velvet ants/cow killers. I mentioned at one point that these were based off of something I really like, while it's not specifically velvet ants they fall into this category. I really like bugs, I just think they're so neat.

The rats remind me of like larva or a cocoon or something, maybe an eggsack?

Yo, I was thinking these were gonna be bugs. Ants are really awesome. When I have to wait for my son to get home on school days, I watch the ants on the sidewalk until he gets there. lol Maybe people think I'm weird, but they are so awesome to watch.

Velvet ants are actually wingless wasps ^^ (Well the males have wings) They resemble ants but they have a very painful sting which was rumored to be painful enough to take down a cow, hence the name 'cow killer' (this is false, but it is really painful)

Fun fact! I first learned about velvet ants as a child through a 'how to draw bugs' book. It's very fitting, I know.

Oh my. That's crazy. My son got stung by a regular wasp once when he was three. He didn't even cry. I was like. I'd be crying so hard.
Velvet ant makes them seem like they'd be nice and cuddly, like the velveteen rabbit, it's funny how they are the opposite of that. I'd hate to get stung by a regular wasp, those would be a nightmare.

June rarities are out and I'm shocked the GH cats are all uncommon. I expected them to be common as staff litters usually are. XD
