I have all girls. c:
Emilie Veronica, black mismarked hooded, also my only one with dumbo ears.

London Rose, black mismarked capped.
Valdosta Summer, brown agouti Berkshire.

The one I don't have anymore was Katelyn Marie, a dark brown mismarked hooded.

Well, just discovered we have some form of rat mites today. Luckily, they won't bite humans unless there aren't any rats around. Unfortunately, that means my poor girls are terribly itchy, and we've got to shampoo the carpet to get rid of them. D:

Yeah, not fun. But we're taking them to the vet tomorrow, so hopefully they have something to help with the itching.

Ivermectin / Revo (depends where you are) is the right treatment. Shampooing the carpet won't help much, even if some are on the carpet, they die off host within a few hours.

Tomorrow is the big day.

Not only will it be the first time away from home alone without a family member, it'll be the first time I'll be sleeping without my coyote Gannet, AND the first time getting my boots actually muddy since it's been raining like crazy. I have /never/ had the support from my parents to leave for longer than an hour away from home with someone that isn't truly family. Shea, Daniel and Jen aren't family at all, but are now super close, good friends. ^.^ so excited, I feel like a big girl now LOL.

I'm going to for sure get a dumbo PEW for myself as a pet, a TRUE mink male for Skunk and the others shall be surprises. Going to try to limit myself to two females, two males. I want to wait for Shea's babies to come home to me, not go crazy.

Already have the quarantee cages on their way to being set up. <3 they'll be outside on the side porch for two weeks. It's PERFECT temp. outside right now for this, not too hot not too cold JUST right, gah, I love Autumn! the week after I bring them inside with the others is the week it'll start getting chilly, so we have everything perfectly planned out. :'D

Wow, pretty names for pretty ratties! Your friend is a very talented photographer, animals are hard to take photos of.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post a new picture of my baby rats.
They are one day off 4 weeks.

Totally took my babies to the library today(in my hoodie) while I went to print off my homework assignment. It's kinda awkward sitting there in the silence and having the only sound be littly tiny sneezes(they're still getting accustomed to their new home so they haven't gotten finished with their 'strange smells' sneezing just yet)
