Good heavens she looked huge! What's that, 13 widgets there? She's gorgeous, and it looks like you have some really nice markings in this litter. Is that Am. blue I see? I haven't emailed you still about setting up another one night stand at your house, but I really would like to do that for Lucy. Perhaps it would be wiser this time to make it a honeymoon week or weekend.

Congrats on the littles, they're gorgeous as always :)

She's not a huge rat and is still fairly young (5 months as of yesterday). She had 13 but I think that there are only 12 left. There are 12 in the photo, but this is the age where it's really easy for a baby to get lost in the nest, and I don't like to tear the nest apart looking for them.

There are a few American Blues, yes. All smooth coats and all dumbos.

I agree that Lucy should visit for a week :)

I actually have a second litter born the day after these, either 14 or 15 babies. My girls get more fertile in the summertime :)

So, er, what do you do with these rats?

- H, joining the party late and from another direction entirely.

The rats get sold as pets :)
