Silly Nesting Rat!
OK, I'm still dying from anticipation for the birth of my first litter of rats, as Scarlett still hasn't had them, so I'm assuming she's about 22 days now.
She began some serious nesting this evening, but looked at me like - can I PLEASE have some more tissue? So, of course I obliged. Her nest is next to the water bottle, and she's just shoved a great deal of the tissue UP and BEHIND her water bottle, almost to the lid of the viv.
Shhhhh....gotta be vewwy, vewwy quiet, we don't want a noisy water bottle to disturb the new babies on the way!

But it's fine if it rattles Karl out of bed a few times per night!!

Hehehe, she got relegated back to the living room, and the silent crestie enclosure was relocated to the bedroom!

Rab, all this talking and no pictures? You do realize that us BP.neters require photos to survive?

Re: Silly Nesting Rat!
I'm going to take pictures this evening - because......we have BABIES!!!!
Karl tiptoed into the bedroom about 12:30 last night and whispered "wake up! She's having her babies!!!"
So, I got to see her have a few of them, but she seemed a little disturbed by the audience, so we left her alone.
This morning she came off of them to greet me and I tried in very low light (Karl's brother is in town for one night and on the couch) to do a head count. There's at least 10 babies, but probably more!

Re: Silly Nesting Rat!
Congrats on your first rat litter Robin! Can't wait to see pics and hear the head count once you've had a chance to check over the litter tonight. Glad she did well on her first go round.

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand
