Here are some pictures of my nine cages and the rats inside. As you can see I have made all of the cages, except for the purple one, but I added on to that one also.
In these three cages are 4 adult males on left. Very shy. Bottom cage on right has 5 adolescent males, not as the adults. Cage on top has the mom and first litter born inside. It is her and the girls. The babies are getting very friendly and sweet.
These two cages hold moms and babies. Top cage is one mom and 12 babies. eyes aren't open yet. Bottom cage is 5 young females and 9 babies, eyes are just opening.
Cage on far left has the two tan hooded males. Oldest of the bunch. Very sweet rats, haven't picked them up yet. They always think my hand coming at them is food and are always grabbing my fingers. Large cage in middle has all the 2 month old boys. 4 from the litter born inside and 7 that were born in cellar. And there's a couple of agouti males that are a couple of weeks older. Small cage on top of that one has the 2 month old girls that I caught at 4 weeks. Their warming up to us nicely. And the tall cage on the right has my two blue boys who are a little over a year old, and they are what made me want to rescue all the rats instead of putting poison out like everyone was saying I should. They are the sweetest guys in the world.
The next page shows some closer pictures of most of them.
