and ended up with Crumbilina/Jenny picking them up and bringing them to me. the 4 baby boys are all reserved already. :joy:

Hoodie boy

"Too bright!!!'

Black berk boy

Smeeze rex boy

Smeeze standard coat boy

and the girls

black rex 1

black berk 2

black rex 2 with irish marking (?_)

"look up here" and she did! An obedient girl, who woulda thunk it. :giggle:

And the wee-est one who was formerly called the ugly duckling..a whopping 74 grams at 7 weeks. :shock:

and the mom's, both about 180 grams, young and small. they both had babies (no idea who's is who's)

 

[whoknew]

Oh my gosh!!
These pictures just made my morning!! So adorable.
How old are they? (sorry if i missed it in the post.. I was overwhelmed by cuteness)

 

[M0onkist]

Goodness... that does seem terribly small for 7 weeks - is he just not getting enough food?

 

[mamarat]

Wow so gorgeous, smeezies and hoodies and a beautiful double rex. That would make a perfect colony. :heart:

 

[lilspaz68]

The boys range from 91-98 grams and the girls are 74, 76 for two, and umm.. 82 I think? When mom's are impregnated at 5 weeks of age, they usually have teeny babies. They all seem very healthy, sweet and happy though. They were all content to just sit on shoulders and brux between photos. LOL

 

[Kimber]

omg....these pictures are no help with me trying to stay low on ratties. they make me want to kiss them all

 

[lilspaz68]

Those pics do NOT do them justice. My apartment always has poor lighting, so wait until Saturday morning with natural morning light. :cheeky:

OH crud, I forgot to mention last night - not sure where my brain was/is... I believe it was mentioned in casual conversation when I picked them up that the litters were 1 week apart?

The 2 smeeze boys still make my heart melt lol

OH Midwest! Please hurry to get the CN add on out!!!!!

How were they in their huge cage??? lol

Ohhh 1 week apart? Hmmm...so maybe some of the smaller ones are really 6 weeks?

The girls were huddled behind the big litter pan, so I took the fleece you had in their carrier and tossed it into the pan itself...after that they really came out to explore. Bouncing and checking out things (the cage, me, etc) and eating lab blocks bigger than their heads LOL. One of the Mom's is going to take a LOT of watching. She is bound and determined to get Out. I had to keep plucking her off the side and putting her back inside LOLOL

the boys were much calmer and when I put my hand in their cage they were just snoozing under their fleece LOL

 

[crumbilina]

awwwww :heart:

I think I know which mama your talking about. She was a little devil when we loaded them into the cage. She also managed to get out a couple times when I was grabbing the little girlies out to take pics. The other mommy was just huddled in a corner.

Aww, Im so happy they are doing well.

That popped in my heat on the drive home last night, about one litter being older then the other. It would explain why some are smaller, but they are pretty much all about the same size though if you seperate males from females...

I dunno, they are ALL so very little.

I am so glad my hubby hasn't seen this sweethearts or our 2 boys would have doubled. :dance:

[jennifervb]

Could your adorable newbies perhaps have something to do with Eli's change in behavior? Does he maybe smell them on you???

 

[handmeafish]

Those ears! omg i love it.

 

[lindsayfawn]

oh my those are some cute babies! The double rex :heart:

 

[M0onkist]

Those are incredibly huge ears, lol

I'll take any type of ear, but oh, do dumbo ears ever make my heart go pitter-pat!

 

[PitLuvs]

What a gorgeous litter!!! I have never seen ears quite like those a babies in a long long time haha

Beautiful, perfect. I am so happy you got them and not the man with a house load of kids! No wonder you have res on the boys :heart:

 

[M0onkist]

Is the wee-est one going to be a PEW dumbo double-rex? Her fur kind of has the look... oh, must resist!

 

[rhapsody]

Those are incredibly huge ears, lol

I'll take any type of ear, but oh, do dumbo ears ever make my heart go pitter-pat!

LOL, small wonder why they are termed "dumbos" - those ears can almost pass for wings!

And me too! Those ears just give them a little extra something special. You can't say "NO" to a face like that!

As for those pictures, too cute to be real! :thud:

 

[Godmother]

Adorable little sweeties! :love4:

 

[Zooy]

Oh god! The ears! I love them!
