Cherry aka Cherry Bomb, Cherry Baby, Choo-Choo, Cerise Born: July 20,2002 Champagne Self Rex Top-eared Doe Cherry has Marachino cherry-red eyes Very outgoing and friendly RIP Cherry, February 12,2004 Cherry's death came as quite a shock. I had no idea she was ill, but she must have hidden it well. I found her body entangled in the blanket bedding during a cage cleaning. She had been dead 24-48 hours when I found her |

I believe that Naomi died from aspiration pnuemonia |

Ravin aka Mugwump, Rave Born: July 20,2002 Black Berkshire Standard-coated Dumbo Doe Incredibly shy, and reserved. You'd hardly know that Ravin was around, she's so quiet and unassuming RIP Ravin, June 27,2004 Benign mammary tumor |

Junyer aka June Bug, Squish, Junner, Ju-jube Born: July 20,2002 Champagne Berkshire Rex Dumbo Buck with Ruby eyes Ultra squishy, friendly, big mush, he could be a daddy any day. I would have liked to have bred Junyer but early in life he was showing signs of respiratory ailments. He's one tough ratty and bounces back every time RIP Junyer, May 27, 2004 Chronic Myco |

Wesley aka Westie, Westerly Wind, Chunky Cheese Please Born: July 20,2002 Silvered Lilac Mis-marked Irish Standard-coated Top-eared Buck with Ruby eyes Hates to be handled, too busy exploring Wesley is overweight, LOVES his food, has a mild head tilt, and REALLY hates to be handled. Wesley sleeps deeply and soundly, and he sleeps more then his brothers. RIP Wesley, September 11, 2004 Wesley developed the Parkinson's-like disease that afflicted his cousin T'tianna. In the end it was as if one by one his body's systems were shutting down, and he may even have had a stoke. He was blind and deaf. |

Baer aka Bruhn, Boo Bear Born: July 20,2002 Black Self Rex Buck Very outgoing and friendly May 28,2004: Baer is looking old, like an old man who is not aging gracefully. With age his body and rexy coat are both getting thinner. Hind-end paralysis is setting in. Baer is outliving his cage mates but enjoys the company of any other rat. |  |
This is the last picture taken of Baer December 2004. He is 2 years, 5 months old in this picture |
