Total cuteness, I'm down to my last three females they are 2+ years now and doing fine. Miss the cute little baby faces.
 
Oh wow Susang, they are old grannies! Congrats on getting past the 2 year mark :) My girls are about 6 months now, and my younger girls are 3-4 months. I LOVE my ratties...
 
Very pretty rats. I had a single male a few years ago (maybe like A LOT of years ago) and spoiled the crap out of him. We was played with a lot, given table scraps, and I fed him a seed mixture. Of course, he got fat and didn't do much, but despite that he was about 4.5-5 years old when he died.

Rats and lots of other rodents make great pets, but they just don't live long enough.

I don't know what it is I had a male hamster for almost 4 years. My rattie girls are three of a litter of nine females. I have never bred them. They are all loves. I know the day is coming but I'm not looking forward to it.
 
Some more of my babies

I can't believe how big Katie is getting! She is due between Tomorrow and Thursday :D:D

Oh my goodness, weighed her just now and she is 12.30 oz. She gained almost an ounce from yesterday. I don't know how much more she can gain! This is crazy!!
 
Well, the babies are here! At about 2:00 pm yesterday, Katie started delivery. She finished at 3:30 pm with 12 little ones. They all appear healthy, minus a couple delivery bites which I cleaned up with some saline. Katie is being a very good mom. everyone is being fed and cleaned. 5 weeks and they will be ready for forever homes :D
 
I'll put them up later tonight... right now I am heading to the docs to find out if I caught strep from one of the kids at daycare! EEk
 
Thanks guys, you are all so sweet. Here are the requested pictures... sorry they are a bit bloody. I'm torn between thinking the pinkies are cute or ugly. I haven't quite decided yet.
Now, if I could only figure out how to add the captions between the photos....
Katie and her sister Roxie checking out the new "meeping" thing.
More meeping things,
More and more meeping things...
all 12 Meeping things!
HEHEHE I love those little meeping things. Roxie, not so keen on them.

Hope you guys enjoy.
