Huh. The pictures are showing up for me. lol I guess I'm special. I'll upload them onto my photobucket and post them again.

All of the rat pups are girls, which is okay. I was hoping for two boys, but two girls would be fine.

Still haven't asked my mom yet. lol If she's in a good mood tonight I will.

I like white rats, I just like colored ones more. White/albino animals just don't appeal to me, whether they be a rat, a ferret, a dog, a bunny....I LOVE white cats though. Go figure. My favorite coloring of all time is probably the "pinto" markings (like on Akitas, horses, etc.). So I like white mixed in with some color. lol

Here are the pictures of the pups:
Blue Agouti w/ white (my favorite):

The Parents:

I can't decide which I like better - the Agouti or one of the black hooded ones. I guess I'll figure that out if/when I pick them up and go by temperment, not looks.

I was just joking around.

They are amazing! I hope you bring home some cute girlies! Girls can be laods of fun and just as cuddly as boys *stares at girls asleep on shoulder*

Congratulations on finding, what looks like, a pretty good breeder.

Hope all goes well when asking your mum.. I know how difficult that can be.
Do keep us updated. :]

Oh, I know it.

And actually, I never really thought to think about how I don't like the white color in a lot of animals. Huh. LOL

I'll be sure to keep you all updated!

Wish me luck! lol

Most likely no ratties.

I talked to my mom about it yesterday and she was completey fine with it until I told her they were two rats.....after that the only word she said was "No" and "Infineity times Infineity no". Drats. And when asked to explain her answer, she said, "They have long pointy noses and long naked tails. No."

But, I'm not one to give up without a fight (that is how I've come to own two ferrets, one of the hamsters, my puppy, and my bird), so I'm going to try again once more.

Anybody have any tips on convincing a mother that rats look like Gerbils, only they are bigger and don't have a fuzzy tail? Or maybe I could tell her they are something else (like the latin name for Fancy Rat or something). Then she'd be fine....
