Simone had 16 (phew!), in four, maybe five colours - one or two dark (black and perhaps dark chocolate) and three much lighter (variations on mink?). There were five boys and eleven girls and they were all mismarked hoody or capped.
Roly was mink capped and Simone carried mink and russian blue (she was a black hoody).

Unfortunately Simone and Roly are no longer with us - but we still have two of their daughters - getting a bit elderly themselves now (Tilly and Dimples) and their granddaughter (Tracey). Simone and Roly were wonderful ratties and we miss them loads. As we approach three years from the birth of this litter (at the time of writing) they have now been joined by the majority of their babies who had spent their lives as part of other families around the country.

Enough of the sadness - please click on the baby photos where indicated for more photos and enjoy looking back over the few weeks of madness of some very naughty little baby rats!
