*DIES*....soooo cute :biggrin2:!!!
I should update a bit on the rat kids!
The three girls were adopted by a young married couple. They were so nice and were very interested in every thing that I had to say about rats. The girls are being kept on the homemade food mixture I make up and the guy's wife was very excited about sewing up hammocks for the girls. They travel back and forth from Prescott to Wickenburg (eh, like 2 hours away?), where they live in Wickenburg 4 days a week. I told the guy to just make sure they aren't getting stressed by the back and forth trips and change of houses. He's keeping me updated on them, too. It was so hard for me to let them go, but they are being loved...just like they would have been here.
Jasper, Tucker, Harper, and Jack are all living in the Ferret Nation with Spartan and Ralphie. They are LOVING IT! Ralphie is just gleaming with happiness to have his boys with him, I can tell. Spartan seems much happier too, the old guys love having some excitement in their cage. The 4 young boys are going in for their neuters in April. I am hoping the vet can do all 4 in one day, but I may have to have 2 done one day and 2 done the next day. I am raising the money by selling rat hammocks over a rat forum. I need $160 more...it costs $260 to neuter all 4 boys.
Leah, Tansy, Spice, and Lyra are going well, too. The girls are shyer than the boys, I'm not sure why. The baby girls spend a lot of time under neath the towel in their cage (I use that as bedding), so sometimes I don't get to see them a whole lot because they never want to come out to say Hi. I am going to see what I can do tonight, about how to get them to not be able to go under the towel. Poor Spice sleeps in a hammock all by herself...sometimes it is like she is so lonely because her girls don't sleep in the hammock with her...they don't hang out at all, either.
Here is some pictures of the boys
. I will take pictures of the girls tonight, right after I get their cage cleaned...then I'll post them when I can.
Happy Daddy, Ralphie!
Spartan, who is the "Happy Uncle"...
Tubby Tucker!
Harper & Jasper (I can't remember who is who, lol!)...
Jack, my little shy boy (reminds me of Ralphie!)...
Harper? Jasper?....I need to mark one of their ears, so I can tell them apart...
Oh, and the COOLEST rat hut...ever! I found it at Target in the dollar bin for $2.50. I wish they had PINK!!
