The Pond Litter and Fall Show fun!

Lily's remaining three babies are doing well! They are growing like bad little weeds. Or more like cute little fluffy dust bunnies. The littlest girl is doing excellent and you can't even tell now that she was ever smaller. I decided to name the babies after things that live in ponds because dad's name is Shrimp and mom's name is Lily (as in 'lily' pad). I still have one baby available from this litter. See my available litters page for more information. You must have a similar aged same sexed baby already at home (or lined up with another breeder) before you can adopt her.

I also attended the Fall Show in Port Orchard and had a lot of fun! It was great to see other rat breeders and to participate in the show. I only took 3 rats, but two of the three came home with a ribbon, so I was pleased. SITH Dragonfly won most kissiest, and SITH Shrimp most unusual.

On Friday, August 31, PNZY Lily gave birth to 7 babies sired by SITH Shrimp. She's not producing enough milk for them all, so she lost 4 babies over the weekend. We are down to just 3 girls. 2 girls look fat and healthy, so I think they have a good shot of making it. 1 girl is a lot smaller, so she might lose her too. :(
