June 1999 Current Events
06/25/99 - Oh, dear, we've added two new members here - the beginnings of another site, I can see it now. Bought two female rats last night, a Siamese we named Jasmyn, and a Rex Agouti we named Pinkachu. As of this morning, Jasmyn looks as though she may be pregnant, which isn't so bad, and since we have no males (yet!) it won't happen any time soon.
Selene & Ulysses are taking good care of their pups, as are their older siblings. I really need to get the older kids into their own tank so they're not sooo crowded. Looks like the new pups are 2 Agouti (1M, 1F?), 3 Agouti Spot (1M, 2F?), and the two pinkies are just beginning to get a little hair. Can't tell yet if they're going to be Argente, Ivory Cream or Dark Tailed White. You can check my Available Pups! page to reserve any of them or any of the previous litter.
Myst & Shadoe may be expecting on Monday, if I've figured right. That should be a pretty litter!
06/24/99 - Shadoe has grown overnight! She's getting pretty big and looks as though she'll be quite the little tennis ball by the time she actually has her babies. Now we're waiting for Raistlin & Crysime, but unless I've missed something (which is possible), I don't think they've even mated yet.
Gawain & Celes were mating yesterday, so I'll be anxiously awaiting the passing of 10 days or so to see if she is pregnant. She's a pretty hefty girl, though, and I've been fooled a couple of times lately.
Ulysses & Selene's litter is growing fast and are now scooting around the tank with their older sibs overrunning them. Will need to get the older pups into the 20-gallon as soon as I can find a place to put it! We're still walking through paths of boxes after our "move from hell."
06/23/99 - Myst & Shadoe are definitely pregnant! Shadoe may possibly be due on the 28th. They mated on June 3, but I guess they must have mated again, for she would have been due on the 21st or 22nd. I'm just tickled that she's pregnant!
06/22/99 - Well, it looks as though Ulysses & Selene have 5 dark pups and 2 pinkies. I'll be curious to see what we have - looks like there's at least one black and at least one grey agouti spot. Have to check again tomorrow to see what colors are developing!
06/21/99 - Selene had 7 pups early this morning! Haven't been able to tell how many are light and/or dark - one of their older siblings stands over the top of them every time I take the top off the tank. Protective little bugger! Guess we'll have to wait a little while to find out.
06/20/99 - Ulysses & Selene are pregnant and she's getting bigger and bigger by the day. She should be due either tomorrow or Tuesday, I think.
We have added two new couples to The Circle. The first is Shadoe, a Female Siamese, and her husband Myst, a Light ColorPoint Agouti (LCPA). They mated on June 3, and I don't know if it's wishful thinking, but I think she is pregnant!
The second new pair is a Female Siamese and a Male Grey Agouti, who are currently unnamed but should be shortly. They should produce some very neat colors, though some may be hard to tell apart - such as Light Color Point Agouti (LCPA), Light Color Point Grey Agouti (LCPGA), and Dark-Tailed White (DTW) with possibly some Siamese, Light Color Point Siamese (LCPS), maybe Light Color Point Nutmeg (LCPN) and Light Color Point Dark-Eyed Honey (LCPDEH) mixed in. There's a bit of an unknown in the grey agouti's father, Ulysses, who has now been determined to be a Dark Tailed White (DTW) - we don't know what the a or p is. Guess "grandpups" will determine that.
Celes may be pregnant, but they were mating just last week, so we'll have to wait a little bit to find out about that. Also, Rosie may be pregnant, also, but she could just be getting fat in her getting-older age.
