Yesterday we rescued two boys and two young girls from a no-kill shelter somewhere in the wilds of Alabama. We haven't named any of them yet and they also came with a little added surprise!

This is the little berkie girl. She was shy until I blew bubbles on her belly, now she's beginning to relax and settle in.

This is the new mother in her privacy loft. She's was a little bitey until she realised I'm on her team.

Father suspect#1. He is high-strung and very bitey. He put a big boo-boo on my finger!

Father suspect#2, he is a very laid back dude.

Here's the babies! I think there is seven of them, but I don't want to interfere too much, because all this is new to mom.

All this is concerning to me. What are these strange noises?

None of this is of much concern to me.
 
That is so wonderful that you rescued these sweeties!!

They are looking great. The last shot, with the cat... that's the most perfect caption too. lol
 
Congrats! and way to go for rescuing those poor ratties, it's nice to know that that place is a no kill shelter :D

and wow, babies too, thats awesome
 
And the winner is......

Father suspect #2!

The babies look like a couple of berks, one BEW or PEW (I'm hoping for a BEW), a hoodie (maybe). definite color variations among them.
 
WONDERFUL!!!!

The poor babies have probably been through the mill and don't know who they can trust.

I'm sure daddy didn't mean to deglove your finger...

are you sure you didn't just taste too good? :D!!!
 
I can't say I hold them at fault for biting me. They are way less freaked out now, and easier to handle. Perhaps they realised I don't taste good at all :p

We have named the girls Posey and Mommy. The boys' names are still pending. Poor guys haven't got a lot of attention with all the goings-on, but they don't seem to mind. They love their new 4-level accomodations and their delicious new diets!

I hope to post new pics of the babies sometime this weekend. They are almost as big as their tiny Mommy 8)
