New Dwarf Ratties!

[Britta]

I just adopted two little boy dwarf ratties, one is an agouti and the other a fawn.  I still can't figure out how to post pictures  but here's a link to their beauty shots    Their currently named Shades and Sand which I actually think are pretty cute, but if anyone has any other name ideas let me know!

I've never had dwarfs before and I've only found a few sites with info about them.  If anyone has any tips let me know!  I pick them up from the breeder in a few days and am not sure what to expect but I am SO excited!  I'm probably not going to house them with my two other boys.  One is a hairless rescue who has become the largest, sassiest rat I've ever met.

The slideshow wouldn't load for me But I am sure they are very cute!

Where are you and what breeder did you go to?

Congrats. They are adorable

I got them from Mini Mouse Rattery, a division of Miracle Rats.  They are located on Mercer Island in Washington State which is right by Seattle.  I have been on the waiting list for almost a year!

Good choice! They'll help you through any questions you've got. Dwarves are really cute, I almost picked up one of theirs at the Mercer Island show this year.

Adorable!  Are those names you intend to keep?

[Britta]

I'm thinking about keeping the names because I think their pretty cute.  Well see once I meet them and get to know their personalities.  Any name suggestions?

I went to the breeder's site though and saw a bunch of their cuties. Makes me wish I was going to Seattle this fall and could bring some home lol.

That's awesome!  Can I ask what your girls temperment is like and how big they grew?  Are there any notable differences between your dwarves and regular size ratties?

[redgingerkisses]

OMG they are so cute! Congrats! I dont think I have ever really seen a dwarf rat...how big do they get? Now I want one too, lol.

The girls were skittish at first, but are now wonderful girls. Still very playful, one is quite licky. 7 1/2 inches without the tail. 12 inches with the tail. The only difference I've seen is size. I've fallen in love with them hard! They are just sooooooo cute!!!!
