thejunipertreeA count of Speck's babies today proved to be rather surprising. I had my brother take her out of the nursery tank I had her in and leave the room, so I could change her pillowcase bedding and try to get a good look at the newborn rats.
This went without a hitch, thankfully. She seems to have much more of a better attitude towards motherhood then Aleister does. Aleister bites the bars of her cage whenever steps up next to it and she'll try to snap at you if you come to close. I've yet to be able to get her a clean pillowcase and feeding her is something of a trial.
So, my brother had Speck and I pulled out the little container I'd given her to nest the babies into. The inital pile seemed a bit daunting and I couldn't make heads or tails of it (literally). Because of this, I had to count them all into my mother's cupped hands one by one.
14, in all.
Criminey. 14!
This makes for a grand total of 25, between both mothers. Jesus H.
