LOL popcorn jumps? He likes to climb up the sides of his cage, and has started nibbling on yogurt treats. Still eats like a champ and like to run around up and down my arms lol.

Lucky is doing so well. I'm so happy he is thriving :love:

He's growing up so fast. Now he climbs the side of his cage when he wants to come out or wants attention lol. I've caught him nibbling on his lab block, so I've weaned him off the kitten formula mixed with baby cereal and dropped the manual feedings to twice a day. Anyone know what age I should stop?

He's so fluffy now, and his little ears stick up. He's so funny when he's out, so active and wants to run everywhere. And I've lost sleep over him running laps in his wheel lol.

3.5 weeks at the earliest but preferably 4+. They open eyes at 2 weeks so I'm sure you can figure out how old he is. I like the cross eyed pic. LOL.

Great job Momma~! Popcorn refers to the crazy jumping and wrestling movement very happy or excited rats do. :) It's so cute. You'll know it when you see it!

You can put a drop or two of cooking oil on each side of his wheel to stop the squeaking if its an all metal one:gj:
