Ratties on vacation ......

The ratties and I moved to Godmother's a week ago to house sit and ratsit.

Here are a few pictures from April 28 as we settled in:



Christmas settling in .... on the kitchen table as the rat room seems to be full :wink:

The group of 21:

bottom right section


bottom left section: Gabrielle, Petra, Allie, Miriam, Judy, Jennifer, and Paul


Easter and baby Storm ... baby Storm is running on the wheel

My batteries died so I did not get cage setup pictures of the 4 seniors or of Easter & Paul's 4 baby boys

May 3

Easter and baby Storm were reunited with Easters 4 baby boys .... the 5 babies are only 8 weeks old



The playpen has seen a lot of action and needs to be cleaned ...
but the ratties are having a wonderful time, these little ones have never been in such a large cage before so lots of scampering, climbing, running, and rearranging.

May 6 , my four seniors ... Solomon, Alberta, Molly and Petite Grisse
Solomon and Petite Grisse are both on many meds for breathing difficulties.
Solomon is in bad shape with chf and Petite Grisse has a deformed spine that puts pressure in the organs in her chest.
They are overweight due to a slowing down as they aged and all the strawberry quik used to sweeten the meds they have been on over a long period of time

Godmothers 6 girls like corn on the cob ... a few pictures for her from tonight

smaller vacation cage ... thoughtful girlies gave up the bottom half of their 4 section CN for my seniors


Girls on the cat climber


finally a picture ... a very fast elusive little girl ... much too busy for pictures


You would never guess that Stella (hairless girl) has pt and had deteriated to the point of being unable to eat, before she stated on bromo + pred




Molly peeking out

How many ratties did you bring with you to Godmother's?
That must have been quite a move! Lots of work... they sure look fine and happy.

That's a lot of rats! Dunno how you keep up with them all. But they do look quite settled and happy.

All of them .... so 32 .... A very big job, it took many hours to get everyone settled in.
I actually moved my 4 seniors the previous afternoon so it would be less stressful for them.
(Easter, Mark and their 5 babies are still up for adoption ...)

Wow big job for sure. They look happy little ratties.

added a few pictures ....

LOL....well I can certainly say none of those rats look like they go without food.....plump little critters for sure. I can not imagine looking after 32 rats..and moving them and all their stuff wow that would be a huge job.. Looks like they are having lots of fun....

I love this pic!
Nominate for RPOM.

That's alot of rats... lol but they look very happy

I second! I love the whole bunch of rats at the door.
Such sweet pics of with the corn.

Wow! 32...and I whine and complain, at having to clean cages for 10! YOU are my HERO! :bow: And all the fuzzbutts look totally like, oh hey we really are on VACATION! :joy:

Wow, and I think it's a PITA to move my nine to the cottage for the weekend. The set up and tear down would be a big job! Looks like your kids are having a great time.

Such cute pictures! :thud: Looks like everyone is having a great time!

So nice to see my girls from afar!! Kisses to them all, including your enormous gang. :tumkiss:
