These babies were born into our custody when mom Katie of Clair’s bunch was taken in already pregnant. They were born on 4/2/16 and will be ready to go home starting 5/8/16.

They are housed with most of Clair’s Bunch and may go home with anyone from that group.

As always, we like to pair the more novel rats with the classic rats to ensure that they all have an equal opportunity of finding a home.

UPDATE 4/24/16:

“They’re all very friendly and curious babies. Mostly it’s tough to tell them apart, but they do have distinct personalities already:

Nikola is very friendly and calm. He was the first one to learn to brux and boggle as a baby.

Neil is very interested in grooming people.  He is always one of the first ones at the cage door.

Erwin just wants to cuddle. He likes to crawl into my hair and fall asleep, and enjoys a good pet.

Carl is wiggly but will allow pets and snuggles.

Marie is curious and wants to explore; it was tough to get her to sit still for a photo! When she calms down, she is open to the idea of resting on a lap.

Rosalind is identical to Marie but more relaxed. She’ll rest in my arms and fall asleep well before her sister even considers slowing down.

Dorothy is active but snuggly. She’s a real sweetheart and is always trying to groom and lick my hands.

Caroline is the calmest girl. She likes to crawl into sleeves and hoods and fall asleep.”
