Some really fuzzy little creatures
Dec. 17th, 2020 12:02 pmThis photo from Nutbush Rattery shows my new ratlets; a black and a white Selkirk, which as far as I can tell is a kind of rex rat. I'd never heard of the designation before. The one without fur is - you guessed it - a hairless rat. I'm not interested in those; if it's meant to have fur, it should have fur!
They'll be arriving after Christmas, when they're old enough to strike out on their own. Technically, being boys, they've already been separated from their mother and sisters, but most reputable breeders like to keep them another couple of weeks to be sure everything is all right. These two will be on their own, but sometimes they're headed for a cage with older rats, which can be rough on very small guys.
