Somebody stop me!!!!

So, stopped at PetSmart today to pick up 2 screen top lids for 2 10 gallon maternity tanks (my co-worker gave those to me), some water bottles, aspen, more mazuri lab block and senior dog food (Science Diet, by the way is only 16% crude protein).

Of COURSE I had to stop and peek in at the ratties, and saw from the front door that they had a sign up with blue rats. They had one left - a gorgeous little American Blue hooded girl with a broken stripe (more like two dots on her back). She is PRECIOUS! And, of course she came home with me! So, one of the little girls I was thinking of promoting from Mrs. Snuggles' litter has just been demoted. She's a light powder blue - love her!

She's still little, so she should do fine in one of the 10 gallons as a quarantine tank and she needs to put on a little weight before she meets Caesar.

Sadly, still no camera - should have one in about three weeks.

Stop you?! :O I don't think so. :colbert:

I like to live vicariously through eveyone elses newest additions. Of course, it would be easier if you had a working camera! :evileye: But I guess I'll wait patiently until you get your new one. (like I have a choice :rolleyes: )

Congrats on your newest addition. I'm jealous. Blue and hooded?!?! http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ulke/thud1.gif

I even told myself on the way there - no new ratties, only if there's a blue hooded. She was inside her igloo, and when I peeked in, I saw a gray face and a lot of white - I couldn't see any more of her - went and found an employee and said - I NEED to see that rat (please let her be hooded, please let her be hooded, please let her be hooded!!)! LOL

On top of being a cutie pie, she's as sweet as sugar!

:rofl: How sweet. She must have been meant to be yours!! :love:

OK, so Ms. Becky!!!!! What should I expect from an American Blue Hooded and a Black Hooded, since Caeser will be the daddy when she eventually has babies?

I'd think Blue, Black, maybe PEW if she's carrying a pink eye dilute. I'd say alot of black though and maybe a few blues, all hooded.

Robin, Let me help out with a rat pic. this pic is proof that Im not the only red headed thing that lives here. :) http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n...g?t=1167176145

hahahaha this emoticon made me laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh...

So, as I'm cleaning rattie enclosures and setting up the new girl in her own tank - she told me her name - since she's a Christmas girl - her name will be Noel!

Wow Ed, I don't believe I've ever seen a red rat! Looks like she had a nice sized litter too!
