"How many rats do you have?" is a question most often answered by a helpless shrug and nervous laughter. Why, you may wonder?

Color is coming in! Here's an updated pic of mama too - she's roan so she will lighten with age until she's eventually pure white. None of the babies should be roan however.

We're excited to finally introduce Arzu! This is a young hairless female from Moondance Tails who we picked up when Fayrie's oldest litter came home recently. We're very excited to begin offering hairless in 2025 and couldn't be happier with her 💖

2 boys 7 girls - we're leaving Fayrie alone for the first few days to make sure she remains on her nest this time. If she doesn't, at least we have a few other nursing mamas in house that should be able to take them on.

Demure and Chanelle are coparenting now that the babies have legs and Demure can't hog them all to herself. However, now that they're mobile she's realizing there is no more escape to be had when she does want a break! Peep Chanelle saying "I told you so!"

There's quite a story behind these four sweethearts...

Fayrie and Mortana both gave birth the same day. Mortana decided she did not want to be a mother and abandoned her nest. In an attempt to save her litter, we tried swapping her babies in with Fayrie and giving Fayrie's nest to Mortana, since they were warm and more lively. Instead of the moms adopting the other litters, both moms decided to reject 😞

By 24hrs old all 17 babies were cold and hungry. In a final bid to save them, we took everyone to Moondance Tails for fostering. They had a couple moms with slightly older litters that took in the babies, giving them a small chance at survival.

Tiny newborns have a hard time competing with well-fed 2 week olds, and they faced another challenge when the does decided to wean when the older litters were ready, but before the baby babies were old enough.

By some miracle, we have four survivors who are small but mighty!

We assume all four are from Fayrie, since they were fed for their first 12hrs and would have been stronger than Mortana's littles. There is no way to know for sure however on the two that did not get the downunder gene. We're just happy they're alive and well and home once more!

When did they get so big 🥺

Here's a throwback to 4 years ago with arguably, one of our most influential litters. This is mama Calliche who gave us Kaia and Sparrow. One or both of these daughters can be found in almost every pedigree we now produce today 🥰

6 dwarfs and only one standard 😲🤩 Also, misspoke in the video as there are 3 girls total, not 2

Both girls will most likely be staying here. The boys should all be available however!

Grabbed a quick video for MaLisa to show temperaments. Looks like the most shy of this bunch is the blazed fawn who still seems a happy camper. If anyone else would like video of specific babies just say so!

This litter is doing very well overall! Babies are growing and healthy, and mama is doing a great job with them. However, one little lady got ahead of herself and opened an eye prematurely. This is a serious complication as she does not yet have the reflex to blink. We're doing all we can to keep the eye moist and medicated to help it heal from the trauma it's already sustained while preventing further injury. She may lose her vision or even the eye itself, but with luck and diligence hopefully this is something she can pull through. She is a very good patient and loves napping while being held. She's quite a dramatic napper too! 🩷

These babies are almost perfect! And they're much less flighty than their mama's litter so lots of hope here that they'll turn out awesome 2 dwarf boys 1 standard boy 2 dwarf girls 3 standard girls

Peepers are opening 🥰
