I have a new boy..again ;D I already knew I would get him for some time now, but I didn't had the chance to tell you about him. *in love* This is Tex, Full name: Amicitia's Forever Texas. He's a Seal point Siamese Rex Dumbo carrier, agouti based. Tex' mom is a Himalayan Rex and his dad a Seal point Siamese Dumbo. He's born in a 'theme'-litter, the theme was Robbie Williams songs, so all his brothers and sisters were named after a song by RW. He's been with me for a week now, the others boys loved him right away. Tex is a real trouble maker, he loves to annoy Dai kin. He may be used for breeding in the future... And other news: The breeder of Dai kin offered me a litter to raise!! We already talked about this a few times but now it's really happening. I collected future mom&dad last week(we had a meeting with some ratteries, I also collected Tex there), they've been 'dating' since. The owner of future dad will pick him up this weekend. I'm sooo...happy, I guess!! Mom is a very pretty Champagne self, dad a big Champagne hooded dumbo with a spot. I'm not keeping any of the baby's myself, but It's just 'fun' to raise a litter. I am planning to have 1 more male, he'll come from the same rattery as Tex. And 2 more girls from Dai kin's breeder. The girls are already born, the boy will be born in about 2 or 3 weeks we hope. The girls are: Honey Bee(Russian blue or Lavender) & Imaginary Superstar(Blue beige dumbo). Honey is born Aug 16th and Superstar Aug 19th.

I see you are in contact with a breeder. When all mine have passed I will see what works best - looking online for rescues or other options such as pet stores wanting to get rid of some they can't sell. Yea, of those who remain - four females and eight guys - they will be two years old in less than three months. So four have gone. >> He's born in a 'theme'-litter, the theme was Robbie Williams songs, so all his brothers and sisters were named after a song by RW.

You just put him right in? >> The breeder of Dai kin offered me a litter to raise!! << You've seen my baby photos. It is very rewarding to do, especially when they are doomed if I don't. Where do the babies go? You have great names for them all. I could use your help with some namings. I'd like to nibble Tex's cute ears!

No real intro, I just put them on the bed and watched tv with them, He had a little boxing-match with Dai kin who was really annoyed and came to *mommy*, to complaine. After that all 4 in the cage, didn't clean it, they didn't fight I don't really like robbie williams although he has some nice songs, but it was hard to choose because I loved the names/songs Forever Texas and Karma Killer...But I can always use Karma Killer for a different rat So now he has sisters and brothers with names like: Angel,Lazy Days,Mr bojangles,Beyond the Sea,Hot Fudge etc. ;D The next boy will be born into the Ben&Jerry's-litter, I already came up with the name Oh my!Apple pie! Imaginary Superstar is a song by Skye Sweetnam, I love that song. And Honey Bee is just the cutest name...I wanted something with Honor or Honey for this girl. BTW; Honey Bee is the grand daughter of Namari and niece of Dai Kin, The mother of Honey is Dai Kin's Half-sister. The babies will go to loving homes; The owner of the male would like 2 girls, A Rattery-owner I saw at the meeting last week also wants 2 girls. And there are more who want 1 or 2 babies.

No offense to any other rats out there, but I think Tex is the cutest rat I've ever seen! That's cool that you're going to raise a litter of rats. I bet you're going to have tons of fun doing that!
