My daughter (2yrs old) named one of the black girls "Blackie" (original, isn't it?), and as it turns out she's the WORST NIBBLER OF THE BUNCH!!!!!!!!!! She nibbled my ears, my neck, my finger tips, the webbing between the fingers and the centers of two finger pads (the center of the print is extremely raised on my fingers)!

This is driving me bonkers! I had a hampster when I was 5 who bit the daylights out of me every chance he got, and so I jump each time I get teeth on me! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have plenty of food, and chew sticks to enjoy and that toy to chew...

ON the other hand, I can hardly wait for them to get old enough to start breeding. I'm going to get a few medium albino females for Blaze to *cough* enjoy company with while my girls get to the right size to breed properly (2.5 months I think). I just love the babies. We're presently breeding a few white mice for our small king and corn snakes, and I LOVE hearing those babies squeeking all the time! I just hate the females nipping me for playig with the tinies... lol!

I'm still looking around for a few other colored rats for my breeding for pets at PetLand. I want a light or medium brown, and normal pure white, and maybe a true grey or such... I just enjoy seeing what I can produce.

Any suggestions for a good place to get a Russian Blue or two that are not inbred? I am trying to get a variety of rats in the breeding so as not to line-breed yet still get a good variety of colors going. I love critters...
