Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / September 2007I'm getting some baby rats!
Hi Group, I've been on the waiting list a long time and I've finally got to the top - the pair of bucks I've been waiting for are six weeks old on Thursday, and I'm really looking forward to it. Time to re-assemble the old cage, methinks :-) Rosemary > Hi Group, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Rosemary Woo-hoo!

Well I'm certainly hoping so :-) They're from Laura Dobson, who runs Carreg Rats <http://www.carregrats.co.uk/> . If you click Enter, then Current Litters, then the big picture at the top with the handful of babies, you'll get to a page titled "Eepers as they grow..." . Under where it says "5 weeks old - Bucks" (about half-way down the page), the two I'm getting are the top one and the third from the top - Laura sent me the photos, and I've fixed the light levels but haven't got round to putting them online or anything. I did say that I didn't really mind what they looked like, but when I saw the photos of them I thought they were absolutely beautiful. I don't really care about slightly crinkly ears or a not-quite-right head - it's hard to tell what they'll look like as adults from the photos, but obviously she'd keep any particularly good-looking rats from a breeder's point of view, I should think. I don't care! At the very least, this way I know where the babies have come from and I know how old they are. :-) I can't wait to meet them now.

My boyfriend is, too, though he's trying to hide it :-) I posted a link in my reply to Dewi to the breeder's site, where she has pictures of the litter, including my two (Watson and Crick!)

Love their names too! :-) I don't know what roles rats played in Watson and Crick's discoveries, but I do know that they both had a rather rattish look about them. <http://www.packer34.freeserve.co.uk/main_watson_crick.jpg> Rosemary >>>>> I've been on the waiting list a long time and I've finally got to >>>>> the top - [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Rosemary I suspect lab rats played a fairly large part in all their DNA studies, and you are right the two men certainly have a ratty look to them, lol!
