Happy 1 year birthday Dilbert and Bronwen!! :D

[lilspaz68]

Time absolutely flies sometimes. Dilbert who not long ago was a 3 week old orphan who charmed his way into the forum's hearts and Bronwen my beloved ooops Mom are 12 months old...

Bronwen is such a love, and every rat loves her so I took a pic together of these 2 non-cagemates. She doesn't understand that she or they are "strangers" and that confuses other rats...haha..she just loves them all, especially when they are babies. ;D

and a closeup of Dilly's head


Dilly when I first got him at 3 weeks

The beginning of the Horde

Dilly and his best girl Brie

A very happy boy ;D



Bronny was about 4 months when she came home from the shelter where she was to be euth'd the next day...not a chance!! It was fate I was there helping my rescue friend pick up 3 older ratboys to go to their new home we had found for them. She wasn't on the website and never would've been, she would've been gone if we hadn't gone that particular day.

Then she started getting a nice pear-shaped belly. Very confusing since she was found outside in a backyard...I thought I was safe...hehehe.

She was a wonderful mom and trusted me with her babies

Poor Bronwen and her 13 parasites :-\


She gave me 4 wonderful ratkids from her litter
boys Bear and Tucker

girls Megan and Angel

Here she is with her extended family

Bronny loves me most of all, and would rather be with me than her cagemates. She is amazing, sweet, very aware of my feelings at the moment. When I am down, she actually crawls under my neck/cheek and stays there while I pat her (she stays very very still even though I can tell she wants to play), its her version of a ratty hug. She plays and bounces when I need a laugh, and when I just need some peace she will lie on me and brux/boggle when I stroke her. Bronwen = Love. For me, her cagemates, new babies needing solace, etc.

Bronwen is definitely a love isn't she? We had an intuitive ratty like that with Inky. Wow they sure are wonderful creatures aren't they!!!

She had a beautiful litter.

I've only had rats a year now. At first I was amazed by the hoodies. I thought, "wow what interesting markings". In that year I found myself falling in love with the selfs and/or berkshires. Sure I still love all kinds but there is just something about the selfs that look so sleek. I just love the beige-ish selfs Bronwen had. mmmmmm.

Bronny's litter was 6 PEW's, 3 black hoodies, 2 agoutis, and 2 black berks.

oh so the first piccy's of the horde---I thought that was part of her litter.

Gotta love the berkshires though. My Jinx is a black berky. His white stripe down his belly is so narrow though, that he is practically a self--well 'cept for the white spot on his chin and white little paws.

The Horde are a separate group/cage. They are older ranging from 1 year to 16 months and I have lots of berks in that group.

Bronny's family are the Baby Cage...they range from 4 months to 1 year (Bronny).
