My four girls had an unexpected visitor last month (one of the boys got out, and they broke down the door for him!) and are now having litters. Most likely, all the babies will be black, and although they're only two days old, there seem to be some interesting patterns (blazed/capped/one perfect hood).
I'm going to keep any that don't find homes, but I'd like to place as many as humanly possible with new people, since I want to keep fewer than 20 rats total, and I already have 10. Please contact me if you're interested! rhinecat@hotmail.com

Goober's litter (females should not be bred due to violent temperament after the pups' birth):
Female black split-cap w/ two black back spots
Female black hooded
Female black hooded w/ butt spot
Male black split-cap w/ line down back
Male black capped w/ one small splotch on back
Male black split-cap w/ back spots
Male black capped w/ blaze and rectangle on back
Female black capped w/ headspot
Female black capped w/ crooked blaze on face and long oval on back

Wonder Woman's litter:
Females-

2 agouti berkshires (1 with headspot)
1 black berkshire

black hooded with lightning bolt on face
Males-

Let me know if you're interested, all are healthy and friendly.
Oh, stupid Wonder Woman just put a box on her babies. Must go check on them

edited to change black to agouti in WW's litter

This is Wonder Woman's whole litter in a wire basket on my table!

*swoon* I'm here in O'Fallon MO and I must cancel this out or I'll be wanting to take hope a few! Wait.. I ALREADY DO!

These are Wonder Woman's babies in a pile.. you can see the wedged one at the top left, the crooked-blazed girl at the bottom middle, and Locke with his T on the right. George, Jr. AKA Dubya, is the black berk girl in the middle. She looks just like George, whose litter is below! The only baby not in this pic is the other agouti berk, Biggs, who was investigating a box at the time.



The horrid furry white thing in the foreground is a rabbit-fur cat toy (ecch, but the cats love them) that the moms stole off my floor. You can see the vari-hood, the berk, and some of the hoodeds. Their mom, George, is the nose to the left, and Hawkgirl, the only girl NOT to get pregnant, is on the right.

You know you want them! Aren't they cute??

No specific time, but sooner is usually better, esp. with the babies growing so fast... Arrgh they're big! And silly!

The first picture, the baby on the far left, under the agouti wedge blazed.. male or female? *hopes for a female so she doesn't feel obligated to adopt*

This is a boy with a bizarre light triangle on his head on a black background.


This is a blurry group photo. These guys are more wiggly than WW's litter!


Another blurry group shot.

Yup, a boy. His name is SNK right now, and he's one of the nicest boys in either litter.

This is a recent picture of one of the pink-eyed hoodeds from George's litter:

And this is a picture of the boy I think fathered these litters:


You can't see much of him (he's shy) but this is his color, which is probably what color the pink-eyed babies are. If anyone knows what color this is, let me know. He's also an odd-eye, one pink, one dk. ruby. The big white blob is Eminem, my favorite PEW, and a camera afficionado.

aww how adorable i iwsah i oculd have one!!!!

Do you still have the female runt from Wonder Womens litter?  

Tracy wants 2 or 3, a girl from school wants 2 or 3, and a girl at work would like some, though that's up in the air right now. So, in short.. too many still need homes! I'll still have more than 20 babies even if everyone who wants some takes some.
