Awww, Aaron is the spitting image of his mommy! Glad to see that Moses is bouncing back and trucking around like the little boy he is.
Eve looks great! She's probably never felt as good as she does now - not pregnant for once!
 
Thanks.
I really miss little Sarah ... I wish I had started hand feeding the babies earlier but I didn't think to because they had milk bellies.

The dead babies were from a more recent litter, conceived soon after Moses, Aaron, and Sarah and any other littermates were born.
 
December 10 .... Aaron and Moses are 30 days old !

Eve was in with the boys for another visit this evening.
The boys decided to try to see if they could nurse.
Eve was not impressed and was very happy to be rescued from their cage.

G'night all
 
:heart: Adorable. Such a treat to come home after a loud (but fun!) Christmas party and relax by looking at those cute ratties. I'm going to have to bring them some banana mash.
 
Eve was permanently reunited with her 4 week old baby boys today.
Will post pics later

I was just looking at the weight chart on page 4.
Aaron has gone from 17 g at 7 days old to 126 g today at 33 days old
Moses has gone from 10 g at 7 days old to 112 g today at 33 days old

They have done pretty good for being seperated from their mom at 3 weeks old
.... they refused hand feedings at that time preferring to lick their formula & baby cereal from a saucer

Edit: Just looked into the cage. Eve is upstairs in a hanging tube ... probably hiding from the kids LOL
Oh no ... they found her ... Aaron climbed into the tube on top of her, while Moses is busy exploring.
 
December 13, Aaron and Moses 33 days old are reunited permanently with their mother Eve.

Joanne, Aaron was trying to get under Eve to nurse last night ... she refused to cooperate.
When afraid, Moses runs and dives under his mama for safely .... it is absolutely too cute!
Eve seems to have accepted her fate and is no longer tempted by thoughts of escape
She has resumed her duties as mama and pins the boys down and gives them a good wash from head to toe LOL
