The BRODENTS! Rodent Enthusiast Thread!

[Animall]

Oh jeez, this is definitely my kinda thread. I have two chinchillas and four rats; my roomate has a chinchilla, and my sister has a syrian and dwarf hamster.

I have a huge soft spot for my rats though. The black one is Ruby, Liesel is the grey, and the hairless babies are Midna and Zelda.

The hairless girls are pretty small, even though they're adults. I believe it's because they're "breeder" that I rescued them from removed them from their mother a week before the appropriate age (6 weeks). Or maybe they're just from a small-sized lineage of rats. But otherwise, they're healthy.
Ruby and Liesel were adopted from the local shelter, but at different times from different litters.

@ Kerie & Ebony Skies

Thanks guys *hugs*

Oh Ker, we went to your P@H on Monday, the tort wasn't there. Though there was a GP I had my eye on, who may just have to come home with me, if he's still there, when we go back at the end of the week XD


@ Hekomi

Ehmergerd BABIES. Totallly wish I could import a baby from you.
I know of a tutorial for making wheels, think it's APH sized, but I'm sure you could adapt. If you want, I can find it for you?

Good luck with the babies. We've had baby pigs at the sanctuary that have been way smaller than their siblings, but perfectly healthy.


@ Middy

Oh god, those mice! I swear, if I wasn't in a different country, I'd be coming & stealing 'em from you XD I love their names too!
Congrats on the win! That little Steampunk outfit is adorable! Especially the tophat!I have a serious thing for tophats XD

I'd love it. :)

I named the female pup, who has actually lost a gram :( but her brother gained one which is good! I'm going to pull her and hand raise her if there is no improvement by tomorrow, but the good news is she was happy to suckle milk from a paint brush.

Her name is Chrysanthemum or "Chrysie"


She is literally SO tiny. ._.; I hope she pulls through but I'm aware she might not.

[.Middy.]

Good luck Hekomi! She is adorable! Hope she makes it!

Spiderfish-
They are calming down a ton too! Winnie is my favorite so far, she's the most curious and brave of the bunch and so far the only one who's heart doesn't go a mile a minute when I hold her lol. The other three are doing great too though! Nissa is a bit insane, but think that's just her personality lol

Thank you! I'm very proud of him! He did amazing at the show, just hung out in his box with it open 96% of the time! Then we also walked around a bit with him in my hands to go look at the hammocks and things. For the most part though he wasn't in his box with the lid on after health checks finished.

I've finally got around to getting some more pictures of all our hammies xD

WARNING! IMAGE HEAVY.

Honey





Orion



Hercules

[Hekomi]

They're so cute. C: I love Orion. <3

My little wards are doing okay. I didn't take Chrysie out this time because she was under mum suckling, and I'd rather she suckle there than KMR from me. The boy peed all over me earlier and just got milk up his nose now. Poor fuzz.

[spiderfish]

@ Hekomi

Here it is!
It is hedgehog sized, but I'm sure the same method can be used for a hamster sized one

She is adorable! Good luck with her!


@ Middy

Winnie is my favourite, she's just so gorgeous! I love the colour/marking combo on anything XD Know what you ean about the heart though, my little guy does that too XD

Wish I could carry my creatures round all the time at our show, but I just don't get chance XD Only during classes, and most of the time, I have multiple creatures entered, so have to get someone else to hold something XD


@ Keriae

FLARING UP MY HAMMIE FEVER AGAIN, YOU MEANIE. XD
They're all so adorable. And I just realized Hercules has broken the cycle of your hams that look like mine XD
Is Honey hanging upside down off your hand in that first picture? XD

[Hekomi]

Yar, that looks like a CSE. I'll bookmark it and poke the boy with it!

[Keriae]

@Komi Orion is my little old lady xD She's not really showing many signs of old age yet though she's nearing a year and a half now (which will be next month, actually) other than drinking a lot more and eating a little less. She's also suddenly become very vocal and talks to me xD we have little conversations and she makes the most adorable noises in her sleep!
I'm super chuffed with the second picture of her, she refuses to stay still, the speed demon.

It's good Chrysie's taking milk from mama c: Arya such a good mum!
Hamster wee is so pleasant, isn't it? I wore a new blouse the other week and guess who decided it was a perfect place for a wee

@spider SORRY I CAN'T HELP IT
Yeah, Honey's hanging upside down on my sister's hand, as she is her hamster xD I just realised it looks like the picture is upside down but it's not, she's a little acrobat.
I haven't have I?! D: Well, can you blame me? He's my handsome little boy <3

[Hekomi]

Awwwh! Java is getting up there too. She's 15mo now. I hope Orion ages gracefully x

Me too - she has a home actually if she pulls through, with an old NHC show breeder who now lives in my area. So that's super good to know. I have quite a long wait list, so I mean, she probably would have found a home even if this other gal didn't want to take her, but I'd prefer she go to a home I can keep in good communication with, potentially visit, and who knows about healthcare.

Ahahaha, no one really ever pees on me! None of our adults have.
