YAY!!!

I ordered the double critter nation for the boys today!
I also ordered some custom liners and hammocks from Kat's Rat mats.
In just a few weeks the boys are going to be living in style.

I cannot wait to show it to them!

For some reason they love this chair!

The kids left this little chair out and during last night's freeplay the boys were completely fascinated with it! It was so cute.
Casper was by far the bravest!

I am starting a rattery!

I have been talking with Keith at Carolina Blue Rattery and Nicole at Rats of Keona and they are going to be my mentors, as I get my rattery started. I love animals of all kinds and always have. I also love science, especially genetics. Not a day goes by that I wish I had taken college more seriously, as I would very much love to be working in a lab researching genetics. So this is going to be perfect for me!

I am getting some cute little girls from Nicole in a few weeks.

The boys.

The boys are so wonderful!
I cannot begin to express how glad I am that I got more than two.
They are so much fun! I am now actually hoping to get a few more,
maybe a "fuzzy" hairless (or two) and a rex (or two).
I know....I am completely and totally gone.;)
My oldest daughter (Dayne) does not want me to get a naked hairless,
she thinks they are just gross to look at. :)
But I actually prefer the fuzzy hairless anyway and as luck would have it, that is exactly the type Keith at Carolina Blue Rattery breeds.
I have been researching and have decided to get a critter nation for my boys. I should be able to order it in a couple of weeks.
Yeah!!!

Here are a few pictures from tonight's playtime.

Casper and Felix are 2 months old today!

I cannot believe my babies are growing so fast.
Casper and Felix are sweeties and have adjusted quickly to life with us.
They are so cute with their dumbo ears. They are both a slightly deeper blue than Toby and Miles and also quite beautiful.

Casper is a complete pig.
I thought Toby was an eater, until I got this guy.
He will literally eat anything and does not know when to stop. He even gets excited about the lab blocks, when I refill the bowl. He loves playtime and tends to follow Toby around when they are out. He also loves to wrestle with the others and I think drives them crazy at times.

Felix is laid back and curious, but also a little more timid. He can be somewhat reluctant to come out of the cage at first, but once he does he runs all over as well. He likes to eat too, I would compare him to Toby in this aspect. He loves a goodie and comes running for his share.
