Well it's your lucky day Rzrwyre

I tried to sex them this morning. On first count it looks like we have 3 boys and 8 girls, but I'm aware that they're only 3 days old so this will probably change.
Also, we have ears this morning!

The boys (so far)

The girls

And a close up of those little unfolding ears!

Their fur is really starting to come through now, I think you can see a few hairs sticking up on that last pic. They're so soft!

"Thud!" That's all I have to say! - Raaz.

THOSE TEENY WHISKERS!!!

RooRat · « **Reply #53 on:** July 26, 2012, 05:39:36 PM »

How're they doing? I keep checking for more pictures of adorable cuteness

Maltey · « **Reply #54 on:** July 26, 2012, 06:14:42 PM »

Sorry, I haven't had a lot of time the last couple of days. Pics tomorrow I promise!
They're doing really well though, they're so big already!
And very soft and furry

ETA: the three little boys have homes

Awwww! They sure are little cuties!

Just curious: am I anywhere near right in guessing that they are dumbos? Is it even possible to tell yet?

I am amazed that one poster could tell from the day 2 photos that they have pink eyes!

You can tell whether or not the have pink eyes, or will be rex from day one - easily! If they have dark eyes you can see them through their eye lids, pink eyes just look like normal coloured skin. And since they are born with whiskers, you can see which are curly and which are straight right away.

She's a gorgeous girl.
It's awful how she was treated.
Both my rats are from pet stores, but they weren't mistreated.
One has myco flare-ups, but I knew that when I got him.
I just couldn't leave him there.
He was older than the other rats and no one wanted him because of the myco.
I love him and he's the sweetest rat.
I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Has she had the babies yet?
I have some name suggestions (:
Kyra- means "strong woman"
Adette- means sweet and strong
Nadia- means hope
Lily- she looks like a lily to me.

Yes, pics, please! <Thud!>

I was so embarrased that I got one home and didn't notice he was a rex! (I picked him out because HE was the one was was clearly like "daddy, take me home!") Very subtle though...whiskers didn't get wild crazy until he was older.

Yay for the bubs! - Raaz.

Pics will be coming today for their one week birthdays

BigBen- all the babies are going to look like mum. I was pretty sure they would be top ear because mum and their father(s) are, but as they've unfolded you can see that they're growing up rather than across.
Black eyed babies have really really dark bits where their eyes are- I guess in real life it's easier to see all these things rather than in a poorly lit shot!

Despite there only being three boys I always seem to pick them up firs, something tells me they're going to be little bruisers

Maltey · « **Reply #61 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:41:47 PM »

As promised!:

The boys:

and the girls:

I hadn't really posted much because I thought they hadn't changed much, but looking back at the last photos I posted....
They're so so soft now and I can't really carry them all in one hand like I could in that picture.

I might have a video coming up later, depends how well Photobucket behaves tonight

Marybelle · « **Reply #62 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:46:43 PM »

So shiny!!

Maltey · « **Reply #63 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:50:42 PM »

I know!!

We have a horrible yellow light in the living room so I really have to use the flash unless it's 8am which is the only time we get sunlight in. Them having pale fur just reflects the light off so they just become so shiny!
I did edit them all and decrease the highlights actually so imagine what they looked like originally!!

Rzrwyre · « **Reply #64 on:** July 27, 2012, 10:30:08 PM »

Oh, <thud>. I will never get over how the little ones crawl over each other.

I never had bubs in my house. But the "thud" factor is still just amazing!

And those tiny little whiskers. <Thud>.

MiserySmith · « **Reply #65 on:** July 27, 2012, 11:16:21 PM »

What pretty little ones.

Rzrwyre · « **Reply #66 on:** July 27, 2012, 11:26:59 PM »

What is it about babies...of anything! Goodness.

- Raaz.

Maltey · « **Reply #67 on:** July 28, 2012, 04:01:58 PM »

They haven't really changed much from last night to tonight so I'll spare you the over-exposed, shiny, highlighted baby pics!
Just wanted to update and say that one of the boys is really licky! It's so cute having this tiny little baby tongue licking me

Maltey · « **Reply #68 on:** July 28, 2012, 07:07:05 PM »

Ok I lie, I have pics, and a video!

I tried to film the boy licking me, of course he stopped as soon as I started filming

but I could watch the first 4 seconds over and over

And some baby-grooming pics

He's so cute cleaning himself like a grown up ratty

MiserySmith · « **Reply #69 on:** July 28, 2012, 07:22:09 PM »

Doesn't even have eyes and is already cleaning feets. I <3 him. Beyond cute.

Rzrwyre · « **Reply #70 on:** July 28, 2012, 07:50:52 PM »

You know, I'm actually prone to fainting. That video was just almost too much for me! "Thud" factor.

I've never had bubs, but it do think at least some of them seem to be dumpos.

Oh those little feet, those teeny whiskers, that baby fuzz. Okay, <Thud>.

- Raaz.

YorkieLove · « **Reply #71 on:** July 28, 2012, 08:54:03 PM »

Bummer I was all excited to see the cute video and all I get is a black screen

xXSweetxNightmareXx · « **Reply #72 on:** July 28, 2012, 09:24:38 PM »

"Don't film me momma, I's shy!"

He's so ridiculously CUTE!

You know I thought that myself actually. Having looked at a couple of them their ears now seem to be growing sideways. That would have to be some very deep-seated genes, I've only ever seen top ear in there. We'll see, they're still cute either way

RattiegirlHM · « **Reply #74 on:** July 29, 2012, 01:18:52 PM »

They are soooooo cute. Definite <thud> factor.
