Happy New Year!
Due to the holidays and some unfortunate personal "stuff," I am way behind again on my e-mails :( I am going to try to get caught up tomorrow. But I thought it'd be better to post here tonight, so everyone can read it.
Target's litter looks to be on track - it is due around the 4th. It doesn't look like Violet's breeding was successful. I will probably try to breed Lucy in the next few days...because I do have some sad news :(
Jackpot passed away about a week ago...I am really heartbroken over it :( He was my one-in-a-million rat, and he was wonderful. It was just a freak accident...but he was such a special boy :( \
RIP little man...
I may try to breed Joly and Lucy soon, in hopes of getting another special harley boy.
I am looking forward to 2010. 2009 was a big year, and some big steps were made....my first himis, my first dove/russian cinnamons, the closed rattery, and some major downsizing and reworking of my breeding program. In 2010 I hope to continue downsizing somewhat, and hopefully keep improving my rats with each generation.
I also wanted to mention that I have a NEW website coming. I have about 300 pages to convert...it is a daunting task, but I think the end result will be worth it. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my current site...but this one looks so much nicer! I am very excited about it! There may be some downtime in the next week or so as I get switched over, but hopefully it won't be for long.
