More Fuzzy pics

Took them out today to re-mark them (the food coloring wears off after about a day, in order to keep them straight I need to mark them, at least till they start becoming obviously different, heh) so I figured I'd try to get some more pics.

Cute cute sleepy faces!!! Reuben and Robert - Riddick chickened out and ran into the hide box when I moved the cage



Rat Asses, heh:



Captain Reuben



Reuben in my pocket!!



Crazy Robert:



The only way I could keep him still to try and get a pic of him, heh



And, finally, relaxed for a minute in my pocket



He's crawling out now, time to put him out and give Riddick some snuggles...he's the only one who's not marked, but I need to spend extra time with him because he's so scaredy.

Riddick started out in my hand, burrowed into my shirt, then when he calmed down a bit, I introduced him to the pocket, which he *loved*. He even sat and washed his face in there, which I was DYING to get a pic of, because it was RIDICULOUSLY cute, but my boob kept getting in the way.



He really seemed interested in the camera, every time I'd bring it out, he'd stick his little nose at it, heh.



I'm still all asquee... *grin*

Fuzzies!! :)

Saturday, (the 28th) I got my 3 little rattie babies... :) They finally have all thier names today, Captain Reuben, Robert, and Riddick. I'm ridiculously amused by the fact that I have Bob the Rat now, heh. They came from a friend, and are siblings. I'd asked for 3 boys, but he accidentally brought 2 boys and a girl. This means I definitely have some decisions to make in the next few weeks. They're already 5 weeks old, and are technically capable of reproducing, but I think I've got a little bit of time to make a decision about thier housing. I could get them altered (either Robert and Riddick or Captain Reuben - the boys would be a marginally better idea - neutering is a much less invasive procedure, but still not my best option) or I could get Reuben a little girl buddy and house them seperately. I'm kind of leaning that way, since I had them all out today, and it was a little nutty with 3 out, if I had just 2 out at a time, it'd be much easier.

Thier housing situation isn't real great right now, they live in a 10 gallon aquarium. I'll be covering a much bigger cage with some chicken wire to prevent escapes soon to move one set in, and getting my old ferret cage back from DX for the other.

I'm starting to be able to tell them apart, although I did mark them with some blue food coloring to make it easier, heh. Robert is the smallest, and he's this crazy little adventurer, heh. He was the first to come out of the hide box when I had them in an empty litter pan to get them acclimated to being outside of thier home today, and he was also the first to climb onto my hand and out of the box...he's a little nut, heh. Riddick, on the other hand, the biggest, is a chicken shit, heh. But once you get him into your lap, he's very content to sit and be petted. Captain Reuben is mid range, I don't know what to think of her yet. She's brave, but still snuggly. Tho I don't expect to bond with her so much as I will the boys, especially my potential lap potato Riddick. My son Bug was quite enamored with them, so I think I might put him in the care of Captain Reuben and her future buddy...he's been pestering me for a pet for a while now.

I'll try and post pics soon...but with all 3 of them out, I don't know if I'd be able to handle a camera too, heh. At least not by myself, I'd need an assistant... *grin* I'm very happy to have them, they'll be much fun, and I'll post regular updates. It was also very nice to see my friend again...hopefully he'll be around to hang out and visit with the babies and such... :)

Edited:

I took some pics of them in thier home...the larger versions can be found at my Flickr page


Here they are in a furpile, so cute...first time I've seen them snoozing outside of thier hide box, which can only mean good things.


Above view of the furpile, heh.


The mighty Robert


And the sweet little Captain Reuben.

Didn't manage to get any of big ole chicken Riddick, tho. Well, he is in the furpile, he's the one on the bottom/middle, but... I'll just have to get shots of him when I bring them out tomorrow...

Aaaaah, Star Wars Geek pickup lines... *swooon*!

Your Star Wars Pickup Line

"Hey! Did you just grab my ass from across the room with your Force Grip?"

What's Your Star Wars Pickup Line?

Sweetie, if that's what you're looking for...

...it's really unlikely you're going to find it via search engine, heh. :)

Was digging through my referral logs, and it seems that someone looked for "perfect girlfriend" on yahoo, and pulled up this post... Made me giggle and grin and feel sort of sad all at once... I'll admit that I've been scouring the dating sites for the perfect boyfriend for quite some time now, but I never thought to Google for him, heh.

MILFs are Moms too!

This would be an EXTREMELY amusing mother's day present...



Get it here!

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

DUNKED!

The best part of these is not that they're not VERYVERY true, but the fact that a friend of mine saw them and thought of me... especially the last one, lol...

What it's like to go to the bar with me...

Some seriously unflattering pictures were taken of me last night, but this one kind of sums up what it's like to go to the bar with me...

Screw space travel and cryonics...

I just want to be able to sleep from November to April and wake up a size 5...

New Hibernation Technique Might Work on Humans

A new trick could one day put humans into a hibernation-like state without all the frigid antics of an Austin Powers movie or an Arthur C. Clarke story.

Using a natural chemical humans and other animals produce in their bodies, scientists have for the first time induced hibernation in mammals, putting mice into a state similar to suspended animation for up to six hours and then bringing them back to normal life.

The breakthrough suggests humans along with other mammals might harbor a mostly unused ability to hibernate on demand.

The Sheepboys a reality?

("Particularly worrisome to some scientists are the nightmare scenarios that could arise from the mixing of brain cells: What if a human mind somehow got trapped inside a sheep's head?")

reminded me distressingly of the already distressing Skittles Sheepboys:
