RIP Bo

My sweet, old girl Bo was put to sleep on Saturday after having a stroke.  She was in the wars after having a tumor removed and then she got mites which gave her a bacterial infection.

Bo was my only rat who ever bit me on more than one occasion! :)  She definitely liked her own space and didn't like being moved.  She was always an explorer when she was younger, unlike Bella who would never come out of the cage until after about 3 months.

Towards the end we couldn't get Bo out of the cage very often, she loved to sleep and chill out in her hammock and looked after the other babies when they were born.  She was my grumpy old girl and I will miss her.

Rest in Peace Bo Bo.

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 :)

Full of cold

I am full of cold (boo) so I haven't been in my clay room at all this last week or so, I was feeling extra motivated too! :S
I haven't made a piece of jewellery for a couple of weeks now as I have had to cake my cake toppers made for this month and next, its been nice to work on something different.

So as I haven't got anything new to show here is Bella all cute and cuddly on my lap :)

Rat Love

Had to put these pics up here, soooo cute! Meet Bo up my boyfriends sleeve :)

 

Rats!

Today I got 2 new baby rats they are so cute! the photo shows there awesome rat mansion :)  It has a hammock and everything although they are yet to try it out.
I think they are still a bit nervous but hoefully they will calm down soon.  At least they have a big enough play pen to keep them occupied while I am working. 
I used to have a rat when I was younger called chewey, she was the cutest little thing.  Rats are lovely pets and very misunderstood :)

 Oh they are 2 girls and they are called Bella & Bo, sweet!
