Moochie & Butters

Meet our new babies!

So we have two new additions to our home! Meet Moochie and Butters, our new baby rats. We adopted them on Tuesday. They are very energetic little brothers and we're having fun getting to know each other. They love to climb and jump and eat. We're finding Cheerios to be their favorite food.

The first three shots are of Moochie. He's a black and white standard coat with dumbo ears. Standard coat means he'll stay smooth like he is now. Aren't his big ears cute?? He's a little squirmy right now, but he'll get more used to us.

The next three are of Butters. He is a chocolate (grayish brown) and white double rex. A rex coat means his fur is all different lengths. It will be more pronounced when he's older. He'll get kinda nappy. :) Butters is more curious and adventuresome, as you can see in the shot where he's going for the camera.

And the last two are a quick peek at their mom and dad. We got to meet both of them too! Guapo is their dad. He's a hairless. And Eve is their mom, a double rex like Butters.


We're so happy to have new little furry friends!

We had baby rats a few years ago...Blackie and Flower. We had to be done with them when we moved to Hawaii though. They were really fun and the kids loved them. One of them was trained to stay on a rug we had in the family room, and the other one wouldn't learn! =) Have fun with your new babies!

More grandbabies! And pretty cute ones if you forget they are rats. Looks like you ended up with a combination of features...one dumbo, one half-nappy...much more fun than having 2 the same. We know they have a 10-year's supply of cardboard to chew on. How big will they get? Congratulations! and Enjoy!
