Some Close Up Pictures

Today the baby rats are two weeks old. They are getting bigger and bigger, but still haven't opened their eyes yet. I'll try to post more current pictures soon, but first, I wanted to post some of my favorite close up shots.

Day 3 - Close up.

Also Day 3 - You can see their whiskers.

Day 5 - My six year old niece is holding three in one hand.

Day 6 - close up

Day 9 - All in a pile in the nest.

Mishka nursing the babies. She is such a good mother. It's a lot of work to keep 12 babies fed!
