Lilith arrives and ....Pics Oct 19th :D

[lilspaz68]

From high energy to out cold... :cheeky:

Woohoo!!! I get to stare at her belly for movement again. :thumbup:

 

[Zooy]

I love sleepy ratties! They are so cute!

 

[lilspaz68]

She looks like a miniature beached whale at times

 

[henry's_mum]

awwwwww

 

[mamarat]

What sweet pics. She's lovely. :heart:

 

[Joanne]

They're so adorable when they're asleep! I hope her birthing goes off without a hitch and she has a small litter (although that belly's getting pretty big!)

 

[fenshae]

She's starting to look soooo much like a little double-rex doppleganger of my Ms. Velvet (RIP). Velvie came home preggers from a pet store as well, and I'm not sure how old she was but she was tiiiiiiiny and should not have been having babies.

:joy: Lilith, such a sweetie. Can I come up to Canada and liberate some babies? :roll:

 

[brittanyfork]

"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG......Nap"

Hahahahahaha

 

[Debbie]

Oh what a darling girl! Here's hoping it's a very small litter.

:heart: :heart:

Sweet baby Lilith...

Tell her I love her! And I truly hope that she's fine during the birth and stuff (whenever that happens, of course).

 

[Maple]

Any babies yet???? :baby:

 

[lilspaz68]

Not yet. She has decided that the paper towels I gave her have to be under the fleece and she's hoisting up the fleece and rearranging everything in her cage LOL.

This is what Sweetie did. Had and cared for her bubs on top of the papertowel but under the fleece LOL

 

[Godmother]

Wishing her a safe and speedy delivery of a small number of sweet babies. :heart:

 

[M0onkist]

Paper towels aren't as soft as fleece...

::chuckles:: but I imagine to a rat it makes perfect sense... somehow!

 

[lilspaz68]

No babies, but Lilith gained 11 grams. :shock:

This is a good thing according to some close experienced friends...lots of babies mean smaller bubs which is less likely to cause complications during the birth.

and boy are pictures deceiving!

 

[Dahlas]

She probably has a while to go yet?.....her tummy doesn't look that big. Or hopefully it will be a tiny litter......How many litters is this for you Shelagh this year?

 

[lilspaz68]

This will be my 3rd litter this year, but Sweetie gave birth the day after I got her, and Molly was picked up (with Moon's help) with her 1 day old litter.

She went from approximately 145 grams to 200 grams on the nose this morning in a week. :nod: With most of her weight over the last 4 days I think?

 

[M0onkist]

So she's gonna have more babies than we thought previously?

::runs around like a chicken with the head cut off:: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.......

Auntie/godratmother's nervous!!! Well, excited/nervous, but probably more nervous!

 

[lilspaz68]

I am hoping for 6-7 eepers in her litter.

 

[meghan]

Oh I can't wait to see pictures!!
