"My" baby rats - pictures

[coati]

Hi,

I´ve just got the film developed which I took of the rats in our local animal shelter :Pictures!

There were 10-day´s old at the time - I´ve just been there (volunteering) and their eyes are open now.
One of the light-colored-hooded girls will join my four girls and another ritten from a friend, soon  .
I can´t wait!
If I could, I´d take all of them...
Meanwhile I´ll keep visiting them to get them used to human company.

Sorry, no deeper meaning here, I just think they´re so adorable and wanted to share .

bye, coati

Oh, they are a lovely bunch of cute baby hoodies, and you take excellent pictures, too.

*sigh* I just lub the way rittens all pile on one another.

In my next life I want to come back as a rat just so I can climb into an overcrowded hidie-hut and smooosh everyone.

I want to come back as a rat so I can make a point to GROOM MY OWN TAIL.

They are absolutely ADORABLE!  How lucky for you that you can spend so much time with them!

Coati-Or anybody who knows their rats--
           What would you consider the beige? and white one on the top of the heap to the left. I like those color mixes and patterns. Im sure it has a proper name... anybody know?

Tan Hooded. I have some of those for adoption too

Rattie pile! :D

Tan Hooded.

Thanks  ! -  I was wondering about that, too.
One of the girls is light and the other dark beige.
The dark beige one is mine  .

Yes, it´s the first time I´ll know one of my rats from birth- it´s really exciting .

The only problem is, that I do become so attached to the little Ones (normally I try to keep an "emotional distance" to the shelter animals) that I really worry about them.
I hope they´ll all find good homes ...
I´ve pestered all my friends to take some, and hopefully the two boys will join my friends bucks soon.
I´ll drive the older, dark rat to her new home today .

bye, coati

Hi there,

They´re growing and running around now and getting cuter day by day   .
I can´t wait to take this feller home:


She still hasn´t got a name - suggestions welcome!

cheers, coati

[Noodles913]

Aww...She looks so content...and sleepy...Lil Snoozer!

 

[coati]

She´s here now  
.
I named her "Stine" and today I´ll get her a friend.
Can´t take may eyes of her, she´s so cute...

Just happy & not making sense :-) , coati

The two rats look different. The one is lighter above and then Stine looks much darker.

Could just be a trick of the light, or the photos.  Also, while rats are going from "baby" to "adult" coats, they can change colors a little.  I look at pictures of Tucker as a baby - and he's a lovely dove blue.  Now, he's a dark slate gray.

What cuties you have, Coati!
