The Rats of Nimh Litter

 

CAVE Marie

Black Standard, marked Doe

 

8 Ratlets

born on October 22nd, 2006

 The Widget Family Line has a real talent for procreating by their own means!  ; )  This little girl 'tricked' my roomie when I was away at the RatsPacNW "RATS!" show at the end of August; she must have scooted out without notice when he was feeding the girls, and when he turned around and saw her perched on the boys' cage, he assumed she came out of it and tossed her in without thinking.  Needless to say, the boys had quite a lot of fun while mom was away! So I got a Birthday present of eight pretty little pinkies  : )

Marie, was born this past February to EAGL Autumn, and is Widget's sister. Marie is SUPER soft, sweet, outgoing and intelligent.  She's really quite pretty too; a very glossy black with a few white spots on her tummy and a nice slim female form. Every rat who is descended from this line has been an exceptional animal, in health and personality, and Marie is too.

CAVE Frisby

Standard Cinnamon, Marked

 

Little Mrs. Frisby attached herself to me at birth; as soon as the cage opens she's out and on momma. She has the beautiful cinnamon coloration of her grandma, EAGL Autumn.

 

Adopted.

 

 

 

  

 

 

   

  CAVE Nihm

  Standard Black Self

 

   This little girl is mischief on the hoof!  A very special girl with LOTS of smarts and a   

   heart dedicated to exploration.  She is the only one I'm still fighting with myself over... 

   she would be PERFECT for a first-time rat owner!  She is available to a select home

   only, but please email me if interested  : )   Staying at CAVE

    CAVE Teresa

    Standard Black Hooded

    Adopted.

 

    The 'twins' are both very sweet girls, who are a nice mix of adventure and cuddle! 

    The difference -- Teresa's tail is half black, and her back spot is one big blob.

 

CAVE Jenner

Standard Silvered Black Self

Staying at CAVE

 

   Jenner is the smallest of the boys and also has the darkest coat. He's very handsome and I think he could do well at show. He very social and enjoys shoulder riding; smart too!  : )

   Standard Silvered Black Marked Male

   Adopted

 

   Justin is a very sweet, smooshey boy who loves to cuddle. He's all black except for tidy

   little white dress gloves! He's the biggest of the boys, and should grow up to be a

   wonderful squish!

 

CAVE Jonathan

Standard Silvered Black Marked Male

Adopted

 

   Jonathan is a sweet, quiet boy, who enjoys attention and cuddling. He's a brownish-black color with silvering, white gloves and a few stray white smudges on his tummy. A nice boy who should grow into a wonderful squish.
