RATS!

A baby story - about my ratties! Watch eight wonderful ratlets from their birth on Aug. 18th, 2005, to their adoption to new mommies and daddies (and maybe beyond, if we're lucky!).

Family Photos!

Alrighty - it's time for some nice news and some fresh family pics (taken over the last day or two). : )

Dad and the babies finally met and he can't get enough of his family (though mom's off-limits). He loves to lick all over the babies and sits on top of the cage to visit. The other day I freaked out because one of my babies disappeared into thin air. I searched the entire room several tiems throughout the day and had no luck at all finding baby. Then in the evening I let Squeek down for his romp and told him to "find the baby" he snuffled around the room like a little bloodhound but didn't 'say' anything until I went to put him to be and gave him a treat (like usual) as he was going to bed. Instead of wandering into the cage like he always does, he made a mad dash up into the drawers of my desk. I found him in the very top drawer... sharing his treat with a frightened little baby! I guess mom must have snatched baby and run at some point - she's a sneaky little
bugger ; ) Glad to see that Dad made sure she was okay!
