    Cass,
    just wondering what brand of collars do you use for your ratties?
    I was thinking of trying them so they can run around more of my house, instead of just their room.
    Do they really stay on?
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    I actually make them myself. If you want a few I sell them for about $5. I would just need you to measure the neck of your rats, and tell me what colors you want and whether or not you want a bell. I use them during free roam time so I can hear the bell jingle and know where they are.

    I have photos cropped and resized, just have to upload them.

    Congrats on the babies!!! I'm sure they will be adorable if the mother is any indication, what a cute ratty! I look forward to more pix!!!

    You mentioned you make collars and leashes? Do you sell them on your site or what cause I have been TRYING to find a way to make sure my rat gets enough exercise but stays out of trouble *she is an expert at hiding* I enjoy having her out but I get scared that I'll loose her somewhere.

    Thanx!

    Thanks!

    Basically I just sell them to anyone who asks, and friends. I am going to put a page up on my site to sell them and a few other ratty things, but haven't had the time to do it yet.

    OK, just in case people do not want to see ratty blood covered babies I am going to post the birth photos as attachments, and the "cute" photos in the thread. Hope you all don't mind.



    She had a very difficult labor and delivery. The first pup I had to take out myself, as she would not push and the baby had turned blue. If I hadn't have pulled him out the others would have died and she may have ended up in the ER. Luckily after a little tugging on my part it helped her start pushing and the baby came out. He was fine for a little bit but we lost him last night. So now I only have 8 babies. I have a HUGE waiting list, so I am going to have to breed another litter just to supply my demand. I have a friend who is moving back home and she wants two more females before she leaves. I am not going to have enough babies to go around LOL! Uh oh, the ducks are crying again. We seem to have been "adopted" by ducks and geese and I have no idea where they came from!

    As you can see she also lost a lot of blood. Not life threatening but enough that I obsessed over her all day yesterday.


    One baby has a big bruise on his face from momma pulling him out. You can see him on the left...

    Oh wow! Congratulations grandma! I had gerbils when I was young and we always had litters. I don't ever remember seeing that much blood from my gerbil momma. I'm glad everything went well. I look forward to seeing more pics.
