Shelley's Family

I have 11 rats at the moment after the unfortunate passing of Ella due to either a PT or Stroke. RIP my baby girl...

Ella (RIP)


Now for the rats I currently have with me

George, 2 years old, and doing wonderfully! Keeps up with her daughters no problem

Luna (left), Addie (Right) - the two bossy girls of the cage

Tessa, lovebug extraordinair! (I can't spell it either!)

Cocoa, my screaming banshee, but as healthy as ever

Zoe, is so much like her mother George is every way

Mora, has stopped balding and her fur is growing back! However she still has an internal mass.

Dolly, extremely skittish around people, continuing to work with her socialization.

Atta, unfortunately has a small mammary tumor. I'm saving money to get a removal/spay for her in the near future.

Pickles, the double rex solitary boy

Sparrow, at least 28 months old, and doing great! He's the only rat that loves to sit still on me for pets, while boggling his eyes. I love this boy so much.


And my non-rat family

Cody, Australian Shepherd, 8 years

Nova, Border Collie, 6 months

Your rats, and non rat babies are GORGEOUS!!!

:heart:

Such beautiful rats... and Nova, wow, she's growing up fast!

Beautiful, beautiful kids......and very beautiful picutes.....I love them all.

Wow, your babies are all so beautiful!

what a gorgeous family

RIP Ella. Your rats are so beautiful and so are the dogs, Nova looks like she can be a handful with that playful face.

You take such great pics. I love Pickles. :heart:

Oh wow, look at how big Nova is. 6 months already... and Tungsten will be 10 months soon. Sheesh.

Your crew is looking beautiful.

She's 7 months old now... Jeez, where does the time go? Nova only looks big in photos - in real life she's still tiny. Only about 18" at the withers and 25 lbs. I love the size she is though! Small, but fast :heart:



And from the first snow fall today

And the most recent pictures of the girl rats - need to get some of Sparrow and Pickles soon.

They are all so pretty.

I'm inlove :heart: :heart:
OMG Dolly and Sparrow.....

Those recent pics are amazing! But that pic of Nova on the chair in the snow is just priceless.

When did you get snow? I didn't get snow! I've been ripped off!

Nova looks so precious sitting in the snow covered chair. Tungsten loves the snow too. I know I keep saying it but we should really try to get them together.

TOTALLY agreed!
:giggle:

So I decided to update my current rat list. I'm holding at 10 ratties right now

My recent losses are Pickles, and Dolly
My recent addition is Mooshi

At the moment I have 4 cages unfortunately, and it will be like this until sometime in January when I can hopefully get Mooshi netuered. Atta just doesn't get along with my younger girls, they are too bossy and reactive which sets her off and causes too much disturbance in dynamics which previously led to Atta being injured. I think she should get along with Mooshi, but I won't know until a later date.

Cage 1 (FN), 6 girls: Addie, Luna, Tessa, Cocoa, Zoe, and Mora
Cage 2 (ALT) 1 girl: Atta
Cage 3 (Hagen Rabbit) 2 rats: Sparrow, George
Cage 4 (Martins R695) 1 boy: Mooshi

So here's a photo of Mooshi to update



And of course, the dogs are doing great and enjoying the snow!

Cody is soo pretty and he looks fabulous for his age!!!

Wow---your family is adorable and your pictures are so clear! Either I have a shakey hand or my camera is much worse than I thought...... May I ask what kind of camera you have?
