Ratlets

Hey hey peeps! Haha as most of you know (because I have a big mouth that cannot be shut) I have my little baby ratlets now!!!! I'm so excited and feel like I'm on an extreme high hehe yes they make me that happy teehee!!!

Anyhoo, they're called Frederick and Possum. Lol and no I wasn't thinking about Frederick the prince when I named him - both of those names just came to mind while I was playing with them. They are very very tiny (only 3-4 weeks old) and are a bit larger than fully grown mice. Already, Freddy has established himself as the dominant male despite him being much younger than Possum by madly and forcibly grooming Possum. However I must say it was a long strenuous battle until Possum finally gave up, lay on his stomach, lowered his head, and allowed that annoying lil' brother to power lick his head. Also, Frederick has claimed his 'spot' on me - that little groove on my shoulders next to my neck - on which he likes to perch on and enjoy the view. While Possum simply loves to explore and climb from place to place!

They are the cutest darlings I have ever laid eyes upon!!! Here are some piccies:
