They're heeeere

So I held my baby rats for the first time tonight and what a joy it was. They are so sweet (and squirmy).

They seem to be settling into the new home just fine. Lucy (pictured here) has claimed the upper level hammock as her own, while Ethel seems partial to the bottom level with all its eco-bedding.

Lucy is very affectionate and has been very easy to hold.  Ethel's been playing hard to get, quite literally at first, but I think she is warming up to me.

Most be very tired from all the excitement of meeting their new mom and moving to a new home - because they are both sawing logs right now.
