Young mama and her eleven babies

This young mama was bred by a teen to her hairless rattie boy.
The young mama was named Marbella, because of her beautiful markings

Marbella had eleven babies on December 15, 2018.



The teen took very good care of Marbella and her babies, cleaning their cage daily.

The female babies were advertised on Kijiji for pets or feeders for $5 on December 19 2018, when they were 4 days old.








The ad changed a few times and eventually the babies were offered as free for pets or feeders.

Here are the other six 21 day old babies and their young mama (pictures taken today)

and some other pictures taken after they arrived today

it is time for a nap …… and a bowl of organic whole grain oatmeal (with blueberries)

Awww, what sweethearts! The pic of that tiny wee bean in a huge wheel is priceless. So glad you were able to rescue this lovely family.

A heart-warming tale - congratulations to all those involved in the rescue.

Mama is beautiful, three colours on her? Very unusual in a rat, thankyou for saving and caring for this beautiful little family
