First, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
As for Rodere, we have paired our first couple. Right now they are doing more cuddling than anything, but we're giving them their space for now, to let them get to know each other. We have several ratties already reserved from that litter, so the list will soon be closed. If you check back and the list is closed, you can wait until she has the kiddos and watch for availability. If there are more than the previously reserved number, I'll let everyone know.
We have another upcoming litter in it's planning stages. The potential mother, RH Fluer of RRR, is still young and maturing. She'll be 6 months old in March, so we're planning it for around that time period. The potential father is RH Jericho of RRR. He's a big squish who loves to brux and boggle. He is not quite a year old yet and seems to be a good candidate for the match.
I hope everyone enjoys the holidays. I know I enjoyed shopping for my ratties way too much. But I think they'll enjoy their gifts. Have a good time!

December already?!
Our new arrivals are still settling in. They were a bit scared after the ride home, but seem to we seem to be earning their trust. Jericho is a big squish. He'll let me turn him over on his back, rub his belly. Or he'll just sit in my hands and look at me, with his ears twitching back and forth. He still doesn't seem to know quite what to think of us, but he's coming around.
Tonks and Fleur are rotten little girls. Always on the move and checking things out. We tried to share our thanksgiving dinner with them, but I think they were more afraid of the turkey leg than interested in eating it. But we did find the way to their hearts..... chocolate! lol Figures, two girls who love chocolate. Who woulda thought? Of course, the sugar rush afterwards was quite comical as well. We tried to take some good pictures, but Fleur absolutely freaked when the lens turned and focused on her. I think it's the noise that scared her. I've never seen a one try to flee to quickly from the photo shoot.
As for MacKenzie, she's still a little perterbed at the move, but each day she improves. We can hold her and talk to her, run her cheeks and her ears. But after a while, she decides she's had enough and won't hold still. She usually wriggles out of our hands and goes back to her cage, to her igloo. Maybe we should try the chocolate with her. =~.^= I think she'll be more comfortable once she's out of quarantine and can be introduced to our other girls.
