They are so cute!!!! Not long until they're eyes open. How's mama going?

Oh just keep them all :D. They'd be one nice big happy family. Then your friend can take in some rescues who would love a good home.

Momma Piper is doing great.....she is eating like a horse. I have three bowls and a bottle I put soy baby formula in and I have been refilling them twice a day.......I have been giving her all the good foods that everyone suggested.......Lab blocks, fruit, veggies, baby cereal, soy formula, puppy food, cheerios, I think she is eating more then I do..... :lol:
 
EEP!! They just keep getting cuter!! Can you even believe that her previous Mommy and Daddy were going to pts this little sweet girl? They have no idea what they are missing! Their loss our gain!!

I know I said it before but CONGRATULATIONS!! This is truely a great rattie and wonderful babies!!
 
Thank you Willow Bean.

Today little Maisie has her eyes open....and she was the first to lead the rebellion against her mother. Piper is a very strict mother....she likes the babies to stay in the house...she either lies inside with them or on top of the house or right in front of the door way....But the rules are all babies must stay in the house.....If they come out, either accidentally while nursing and they stay on when Piper comes out or if they try to come out on their own, Piper will grab them and throw them back in. It has been very funny to watch. Well this morning Maisie decided to get the kids all together and rush out.....Piper tried to put them back in but there was to many of them and they came out faster then she could get them in....Piper gave a little squeak and jumped up on the house. The babies kind of explored a little bit.....Piper sat on the house looking down looking very concerned. Finally Piper went in the house and laid down...all the babies..including the rebel Maisie...went in and nursed and fell asleep. Piper then came out and looked very relieved..........
Poor Piper I think the good ol days of the babies staying where she put them might be soon over...LOL I know how you feel Piper....now the work begins.

They're so gorgeous. I was just thinking that once their eyes open, that's when they really get up to mischief.

Just a word of caution. When my baby rats were at that age I had a couple of them somehow attach themselves to the sleeve of my jumper. This happened on 2 separate occasions. They're so light so it's hard to notice. Anyhow, I found one of the rats on the floor. I could have easily walk on the little fella. After that I kept my sleeves up and scanned the floor before walking away.

Thanks Dewi I will remember that......they are so cute but I know that things are going to get very busy. :D I got Sydney and her sister at 8 weeks and they where a handful.. :lol: ..I can imagine what 11 is going to be like.......
 
Well I had the babies out for their cuddle and took some pictures...everybody has their eyes open somewhat except my little Angel...... She is the baby of the family and isn't in a rush to grow up......
