I added a few new rats to my feeder breeders. These guys are all beloved pets. Their offspring just aren't always so lucky...
First up is, incidentally, Lucky, who isn't actually new but I never posted anywhere. Though his name may be cliché, it is appropriate. The son of my first dumbo rats, Siegfried and Rue (posted on the previous thread), he was destined as a feeder. I offered him as a live, blind fuzzy to two snakes that were having feeding issues. He was refused by both. After five days of being away from his mom, he was still alive. I washed him and rolled him in the nest bedding, and Rue took him back. He thrived and I gave him a free pass, because he clearly just was not destined to be snake food. He's a hooded rex, and he's still a bit skittish because I don't handle him much, but he's quite sweet when he calms down.
Lucky:
And now the actual "new additions..."
The girls
Lavender, a blue hooded sweetie:
Rose, a short hair rex who would appear to be albino if it weren't for the spot on her nose:
Lavender and Rose with the third girl, a dumbo who I haven't named yet (I'm resisting another flower-themed name):
The boys
Not, a hooded black rat that my friend rescued from terrible conditions. He's not the largest rat I've ever seen, but he's the largest I've owned. He's old and always looks bug-eyed and scared, but he's actually incredibly sweet and tame.
