Meet Maeby and Lucille Austero (Lucille 2). Whoever can tell me the reference for those names gets a big prize (no.. you don't. I lie)
I am starting to learn how to tell them apart... but it's still tough if they're not side by side. Lucille 2 has quite a bit of white on her tail while Maeby has only a touch of white at the very very tip. They are my first black rats, my first birkshires (although probably "poor" birks) and my first dumbos. Also, my first babies (baby-ish). They will be 13 weeks old on Monday... so they are also my first rats who will celebrate an actual birthday (as opposed to an anniversary)
Excuse the dirtiness of the first few pics.. they had just tracked through their carrot baby food and got it EVERYWHERE.
"Hey... hey, what's goin on?"
"Excuse me, I'm trying to eat here!"
"This is just a bit too close for comfort."
"Wait! Don't go... I was kidding!"
"What is that thing, anyway? Food?"
Big news! Lucille 2 is my first hammock rat! I'm so happy.
Cute nose, up close and personal.
Maeby is jealous of the attention going to her sister and attacks the camera!
"Ok, really... I'm trying to sleep here..."
"Yeah, I'm cute. Are you going to put that non-edible thing away already?"
I like that the bars are in focus in this one... dunno why.
And to wrap things up... yarn attack! Yarn attack!
Sorry for so many pics... but they're such cuties! :heart:
