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 :)
