The boys are almost 11 weeks old!

These boys are absolutely adorable!

Eight weeks old soon!

The boys are doing wonderfully and are so cute. Here are a few pics from last nights playtime.

Getting to know the babies.

I am having so much fun with the boys. Boo is extremely adventurous, outgoing, busy and silly. Dill is a bit more cautious and so far seems pretty content to just snuggle in my lap during freeplay. :)

The boys are doing so well!

They are so amazing, adorable, friendly and outgoing already!

Getting settled in their new home pics

Boo & Dill are home!

The boys are home and are exceedingly cute! They are so outgoing and adorable.

The boy's cage is all ready and waiting.

Just waiting for babies now! I decided to go with the Martin's powder coated Rat Skyscraper model!

New babies!

I decided I would prefer to get my babies from a breeder. I have just not had any luck with craigslist or the pet stores. I do not like not knowing the background or getting potentially super unsocialized ratties, not to mention serious health concerns. So I have been researching and finally found a breeder not too incredibly far from me!

She is Southern Mischief Rattery and she has several babies that will be available 10/15/14. I picked out two cuties and am hoping to pick them up on October 17th!

This is little Boo. (aka Boo Bug)

This is little Dill. (aka Dilly Bar)
He is a dumbo rex russian blue veriberk! DOB 9/14/14

Update!

Hello. Wow has it really been two years since updating?! Time really goes by quickly these days!
I have missed my ratties so and have been thinking about them more and more. Now that my daughter (Zoë) is almost 8 years old. I feel safe I can finally have them again! Since she understands better about her allergies and she has also been on some allergy medicine that has helped tremendously with her other allergies.
I have been looking on criagslist a lot but so far no luck. I am also having trouble finding a breeder that is not 7+ hours away from me.
I already ordered my New Martin's Skyscraper for them and have been collecting toys and hammocks whenever I buy stuff for the other pets.
