I got a new baby!!!!!! Her name is Willow and she is a hairless rat. She is so sweet, all of my girls have taken a least a few days to trust me enough to let me pick them up, not Willow she loves to be held and loves to play with my hair and give lots of kisses.
All of my older girls like her except Rose. I think I am going to have to get Rose spayed she is just extremely aggressive towards everyone. The only time she comes to see me is when she wants to bite me. Every time she gets near Willow she gets all puffed out and walks towards her sideways and starts huffing and hissing and then she attacks. At least Willow is really outgoing and does not let it affect her attitude toward the other girls. Everyone else tries to mother her. So she is having to stay in the isolation tank until I either get Rose spayed or she gets used to her. I am going to try the bathtub method tonight maybe if Rose is out of her element she might accept her. If not snip, snip. She is EVIL no kidding Satan in an little red and white rat. EVIL. Rose is the perfect name for her to she is thorny =)
I am not so sure about Willow though so if you have any suggestions send them this way. She is very sweet and her little body is so warm. Remember I named the last baby Sweet Pea (R.I.P.).
And any suggestions on the introductions. Rose has not left any marks on her soft bare skin but it is bound to happen and I do not want her to make the new baby scared of other rats.
