My rats & mice

[Alasse]

The cage i have is a parrot cage...and its ideal

My girls were in a tank at first too...but it gets far too hot here for them to be in there in summer and just not enough room for them to move around...my girls just love to climb the sides and even the roof *L*...so i put the cage on a payment scheme at my local pet supply store, took me 8 weeks to pay it off *L*...but its worth every cent.

I just change it around every so often so they have new things to explore

as it is now

Bella has had her pups....she had them last night...i didnt think she'd last much longer...and the tell tale little squeaks gave her away *L*

I'll give her and the pups a few days to settle in, then i'll try for some pics and count how many she had

[Suki Wingy]

OOh brindle mouse! They're all super-cute though!

[Alasse]

Ok...i managed to sneak in a quick head count while she was up the other end having a feed...could be hidden ones again like last time though

12 little pink pups

Sooooooo cute!!

Bella's pups ~ 2 days old now

[lute]

awww. look how tiny they are!

[Alasse]

Bella's pups at 5 days old....colours starting to appear

[Alasse]

Another quick peek today....they are 8 days old now

It looks like at least 3 of the pups are brindle&white (woohooo), 1 black, some caramel/tan&white, some very pale tans....not as many whites as i first believed....when they are at around 10 or so days i will be able to tell their true colours





There maybe other brindle types in there....paler brindling...tis still quite difficult to tell as the lighting is not very bright near their tank....and i dont like to take them away from Mum for too long

[Alasse]

The change in colours in just 1 day is quite amazing





The dark brindle pup is stunning (darker than mum)....2 brindle&whites like dad....a few caramel&whites, and a paler version of the caramel&white....some whites (but less than i thought) and the black with the white dot on its head

A few more days and i'll get them out and take individual pics for ID purposes

[Chilli]

Awww! Its so awesome getting to see them develop their colors.. the change in just one day is amazing!
They're so cute. =]
