I'll have to find something cooler to call my gang, but my brain isn't working too well. 
Right now we have six boys living with us: Denny, Izzie, Preston, Andi, Tip, and Rubin.
Denny is a rescue, who I've had since December '07. He is a black and white hooded, and the BEST rat hands down ever. I know. I say that slightly biased, but I truly believe any one who met him could agree that he is what everyone wishes every rat was... Loving, cute, super friendly, good with kids, calm with new people, obedient, and just all around a good boy! He'll be one in November.
Izzie is a rescue, who I've had since April '07, and he came in with Preston. He is a mink hooded. He is also one of those everyone wishes they had... An extreme cuddler, a big squishy boy who just loves to be petted and held. He is fantastical.
Preston is also a rescue, and came to me the same time Izzie did. He is a black berkshire, although a bad one. He is shy, but will come to you and is a good boy generally. He is very careful and obsevant... He watches what everyone else does before he acts. He's extremely smart. He and Izzie will be one in February '09.
Andi and Tip... Rescue brothers who came to me in a weird way when they were too young, in May '08. Both are mink selfs, but Tip has dumbo ears. They are both pretty reserved... Tip more than Andi. Tip is a rat's rat... He prefers their company to mine. Andi on the other hand, likes to be petted and held, and will come to me when called. He is more outgoing than his brother. Tip has it his way, or no way... Andi is a lot more flexible. They will be 1 in May '09.

Rubin is a rescue who came to me July ( I believe... Or late June? LMAO) from Staci (OldsGal). He was 1 1/2 then, so I imagine come the new year he'll be two. He is I *think* a lilac or something blazed/hooded... IDK what his markings are called, but he's handsome. He is an older gentleman in with all these younger guys, but he fits in so perfectly you wouldn't know he never lived with them until he was middle aged, heh. He's a very outgoing boy, and boy does he love food!! He really loves to explore and loves to sniff new things. Rubin came with his cagemate and best pal, Norrin. But Norrin never got on with the other guys, and then he passed, so Rubin went to live with the other five with no issue at all.
And we have 3 girls here as well: Harlow, Iris, and Janie.
Janie has been the star in the house as of late... I adopted her in August of this year, and not too soon after she got here than she had a litter of ten, which I will talk about later. She is young, but I have no clue how old... 4-5 months, if that. She's a VERY sweet girl... Very licky and cleans your hands for you. She will sit still to be petted, which my other two never do. She is a blue of somesort.
Harlow is my attention whore! She was my boyfriend's rat until he decided she and his other rat should live here about in August. She is ALWAYS in my face... "Mam pet me, Mam pay attention to me, Mam feed me, Mam Mam Mam" I can just hear her say! She LOVES to play, and will do it for hours if you let her, LOL. She's very much a girly girl... All over the place all the time! She's about... I want to say 4 months old. I really have no clue, but she was small when he first got her, but I can't remember when that was, LOL. She is a bad black (I want to say chocolate) hooded.
Iris was Harlow's cagemate, and I think she's a little older, by a month or two at least. She's a little bit more reserved, but is still very friendly and outgoing. She sleeps in the weirdest places... She doesn't play like Harlow does, but she's a lovely lady who loves to be petted and especially have her ears rubbed. She is a champagne berkshire, and SO cute. She is my best model of the girls.
Okay, like I said, Janie has a litter of ten right now. There are 6 boys (Marty, MBob, Romy, Laura, and two boys who have a new home lined up) and 4 girls (Karly, Nikki, Taffy, and Aizy). They're all black in some combo, with three of the boys being hooded (Marty, Romy, and ne of the no named boys), 2 selfs (Laura and one of the no named boys), and one Berkshire (MBob). The girls are all berkshires, although with different patterns and amounts of white going from most to least: Taffy, Aizy, Nikki, and Karly. Taffy is my little runty girl... A keeper for sure! They were born September 22nd, and just turned two weeks. They are... ADORABLE. I need to get new pics on here for everyone, but I'm not sure you could handle it. When they get bigger, I'll post individual pics of the ones who are staying. But for now:
