oh rats!

Meet Sandy (left) and Sassy (right)

Their new home (they are in there somewhere sleeping)

Kestrel got her pet rats yesterday. We've been waiting for them for quite a while. We were on a few breeders' wait lists for a couple of months, and finally were offered a pair of female rats from Sweet Genes Rodentry. The babies were ready to go home this week, and Paul was in the area yesterday for work, so he picked them up and brought them home last night. Kestrel is so excited, and has played with them several times today. They sure are cute, and pretty friendly already. Sandy is the fawn rat and Sassy is the beige one. They are 5 1/2 weeks old.

By the way, the kids are home today because school was cancelled due to the cold. Hmpf! Right now it's about 6 degrees. Seems like they should be in school if you ask me.
