The kids surprise Christmas present...

I was hoping for a baby Siamese Dumbo rat but the mommy died with her babies about 1 month ago. So I decided to call just to see if they got any others in. The lady said yes. So my loving and understanding husband came home for lunch so I could go to the shop before they closed to check out these 4 week old baby dumbo rats! They were not siamese though but maybe we'll breed her with a male Siamese Dumbo when she's older. There were 2 black males and a white female and then.... a beautiful brown female. I kinda had my heart set on a female this time since I always had males. The coloring on this female is an "original" rat color. It's called Agouti. She has a white tip on her tail and a white belly. She is precious! Now to come up with a name! That's always the hard part. The boys picked Mochs for our last blue rat we had. Maybe they'll come up with a good girl name. Soooo... welcome to our family little one!

Such lucky kids to have an adventurous mom like you. Excited to hear how he was received yesterday morning. I heard in one child-ed class that a rat is one of the best first pets for children.
