Thanks everyone!!!!! WOW, I totally wasn't expecting so many people to reply. I guess more people read my threads than I thought, hehe. That makes me feel happy. I am glad you all like to read about my posts, and that I am not boring you with my many "rodent" stories.

Kay, I know, I do need some updated rats pics. I am only down to 8 now, as I placed all my younger rats with other breeders. Unfortunately a LOT of my rats are ill right now. Meeko has a tumor and has some sort of problem with his hips and will need to have surgery to remove the tumor once it gets bigger and he needs x-rays on his legs to determine what the heck happened to the poor guy. He isn't in any pain though, so it's very strange. It sort of looks like hip dysplasia, though I've never heard of such a thing in rats. He is from tailless lines, so that may have something to do with it.

Killian is just horrible. His myco is just out of control and it is a constant battle with him. I didn't breed him because of this, which is a pitty as he is one of the most laid back rats I've ever had. Wrinkles, as you might have heard has an eye ulcer and is also battling Myco, and the other day Caramel developed head tilt. She is on Baytril right now, but there is no quarantee she will be able to walk normal again.
