Babies


I just euthed most of the litter of 11 down to the 4 I'm thinking about keeping. There's three males and one female. Three are an odd cream color and one is a pretty berkshire like the mother but with a nifty blaze up it's face. I probably will only end up keeping 1, MAYBE two, and the other couple I will also euth or sell. I'm starting to run out of room, lol. These guys I can house though. I think my next project, now that I'll be starting at my job, is to build some large rat cages.

Anywho, here are the babies:

cream boy:


The two cream colored males:


A boy I think I'm gonna name "Love" b/c of his blaze.


What color are we??

Their eyes are now open. Over protective momma won't let them out of their baby box to explore - I think in a few days I'll just be removing the box entirely, though.

I just had another litter born, too. 9 babies out of a first time mother that I accidentally bred... Thought it was a boy and turned out I was wrong. 'He' was living with my male for a week till I checked again - sure enough, female! She's a little young but has built a beautiful nest and is taking good care of her little ones.

I want to keep 'em, too, but I figured I should put them up for sale and try to get one or two sold. My favorite is the little Dumbo boy. SO cute.

Yup. That new litter of younger babies above was also euthed down to 4. The remaining 4 of that litter will probably euthed soon, they only were kept on to help their mother, a first timer, gain confidence and practice with mothering - she was 'iffy' at first but has developed into a good mother.
