Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2004New Dumbo Babies!!
Hi All, Thought I'd pop in quick to show off the new babies that we got from Sue today!! :o) They are called Bert & Ernie. Bert is a black-eyed Himalayan and Ernie is an Agouti. We have never had dumbo's before and they are adorable!! I've taken a couple of pics of each but I'll be posting more as they settle. We were also very impressed that all of our current boys welcomed them with open paws! We were amazed how friendly and inquisitive they were straight away, and it was obvious they had been handled so much and so well cared for!! Thanks so much for being so welcoming today Sue, it was great to meet you and your brood!! Give scritches to all your ratties and bunnies and a big stroke for Floyd!! xxx  SignatureTarn ...............

I almost spoilt the surprise by posting you would be making a special announcement later... *grin* > We have never had dumbo's before and they are adorable!!

See, didn't I say they had good manners?? lolol... Guess I should thank their dad and his mates for that. > Thanks so much for being so welcoming today Sue, it was great to meet you > and your brood!! Give scritches to all your ratties and bunnies and a big > stroke for Floyd!! Floyd sends licks and trouserleg-nibbles (ooh err missus) and it was great to meet you too!:) After you had gone (of course), I thought of the perfect Y-names.... I name my litters consecuively through the alphabet.... The X litter wasn't easy though I have a young black Rex baby here called XXXX (Foureks, if you know your Pratchett!!). I try to pick very unusual, unique or funny names, and I'm constantly surprised how many people keep them. It dawned on me..... an agouti Dumbo called Yoda...! definitely born with wisdom beyond his weeks, that one, though I don't know how much trouble he'll get into.... You will be looking for screwdrivers to flip his tummy open and take his batteries out, he's just like his mum. And then I thought of Yorick.... "Over 'ere son, on me 'ead!" (That will only make sense to you if you ever saw a certain UK beer commercial!). Hope the boys delight you for years and months to come... thanks for adopting them. Give them a big squeeze from me.

SignatureJoanne Mom to 12 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 I have posted their pics to my Webshots site below my signature but unfortunately it is not showing up!! *sad face* I wanted to show them off!! It has let me update pics of my current boys, but not the babies! If you click 'newest' it shows you that the site is updated, but still no little ones! I am at work at the moment but shall try to correct it later! :o) Oh btw Sue ..... I decided to re-name the babies! I went for Yoda as you suggested and Yogi for the Himalaylan! I was wracking my brains all the way home for Y names!! Yoda is a cool name for my little monkey!! Tarn xx they are adorable.. I love that dark-brown colour! have fun! klary > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > xxx > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > <:3_)~~~ > http://community.webshots.com/user/tarn75 That's great, I absolutely adore dumbos and have never been able to get hold of any myself. It's good when you get to meet somebody from the newsgroup isn't it? I got the two brothers I have at the moment from Jen who used to post on this newsgroup regularly, she bought a female home only to find she was pregnant and posted on here about needing homes for the babies - I was looking for new ratties at the time (searched everywhere to try and find dumboes, but couldn't) so rescued two of her female's boys instead. Jen's not been on for a while though as she's busy with work and college, when she emails me she always says to say hi to you all though! Looking forward to the pics of your new additions!

Tell her I say hello too next time you email her.

Wonder if I can do anything about that......?? *wink* Sue & the Currant Machines & the horde of fancy rats Portsmouth, England, UK > > That's great, I absolutely adore dumbos and have never been able to get hold > > of any myself. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > & the horde of fancy rats > Portsmouth, England, UK I will keep that in mind for the future Sue! I think you are well over 200 miles away from us, so I would have to sweet talk my fiance quite a bit into driving us there! My cousin lives in Portsmouth...hmmmm....wonder if she would like a visitor or two since I've not seen her in so many years... ;oD Tracey > I will keep that in mind for the future Sue!

My cousin lives in Portsmouth...hmmmm....wonder if she > would like a visitor or two since I've not seen her in so many years... ;oD I don't know exactly where you live but I occasionally leave the tranquility of Portsmouth to venture forth to rat shows elsewhere, such as Leeds. And there is also a willing network of rat-peeps country-wide who are happy to help with a travel network, getting desired rats to their desperate new owners :) Sue ------------------------------------ < . . > = v = www.pendragonrats.co.uk > > I will keep that in mind for the future Sue!

It's about ten miles south of Sheffield, so Leeds isn't too far away! I've told my fiance I won't be getting any more rats for a while, so that is another problem to cross. I've had a bit of an expensive time with them of late at the vets, which didn't please him too much as we are going through a very lean period at the mo. Hopefully when the finances improve he'll soften again and whoppee... more ratties! I'd definitely like dumboes next time. Tracey |
