Rat Babies!

As promised here are a couple of pics of the new babies, official head count is 10, so I now have 15 rats!  Let the fun begin!

 

All 10 babies

A Big Surprise!

If you read this blog regularly you will probably have figured out that I have a couple of pet rats, Bella and Bo.  Well we decided to buy them a new BIG cage and buy 2 more rats also, we went to get them on Saturday and Dom decided he wanted a 3rd one as he liked the look of this black baby.

We left the pet shop with 3 new ratties on Staurday and this morning I woke up to a lot of squeaking, I look in the cage and find a pile of rat babies! One of out new ratties was pregnant and had given birth :S
I think they are about 8 babies, so I go from having 2 to 13!

Here are a couple of pics of their new home and some pics of the new pups will come soon :)

Stuff I really, really want, part 2

I think I add things to my Etsy favourites everyday, there is just too many nice things out there!  I thought I would do my faves in jewellery this time around.

So this week first up are these super cute earrings from vickiorion.  I love the pink and green together, 2 of my favourite colours for sure.  Unfortunately they just sold :(
