ooooo...trust me most of these are going to be intense aka loud...I am going to be a witch and hold off pics of them for a day or three, then you will see what I mean. Dont worry I have a spicey girl all lined up for you, I am sure once to get to Melina though you are going to have to duke it out over the bugger though...LOL Shaz

Oh . my. god. They are gorgeous! I see another one that is super adorable too. I'm sure once they get older and eyes open it'll be easier to tell the difference amongst the entire litter (right? haha). They are so cute. Thanks for the pics! I need my sunglasses!

They all have differant patterns already, so its pretty easy to tell them apart. The one in hte back of the second mouse pile is the one you had pointed out before when the spots were just comming in, its all so the same one that didnt want to stay in the pile and i got a picture of her by herself. Deffiantly a firey lil gal...and FAST!!Shaz

Yup that lil fire head is a girl...and yes I do have docile girls as well...I have done some creative photos with them. However...the last few days the runt isnt doing to well, I have found him outside of the nest twice yesterday cold and hungery, today I lookied around and didnt see him out of the nest and Jewel was nursing so I didnt bug her. I will do a babie count and check on the runt in a little while she has been in the nest almost all day. I am thinking about removing the coconut shell...the nest for one of those little wood boxes/houses that foster and smith sell.(I am lucky to have a retail shop here in town so I can get ANYTHING from the catalog in the same day) we have the warehouse here too. I think it would be better and the babies wont crawl behind it then just sit there. I will update on the runt as soon as I can. Shaz

Thanks for your well wishes EG, but the lil boy didnt make it. I found him tonight just outside of the nest and gone. RIP lil shiney boy. The others look fantastic...around 2-2 1/2 weeks they will have their eyes open. I wont be able to get really good pics after they open them...they are going to be like grasshoppers. Will try to get more over the next few days though. Shaz

Here are the pics at two weeks old...the remaining 9 are doing fantastic and growing fast.

The one above is one of the black eyed..

This is one of the ruby eyed...

Here they are playing follow the leader..it looks like only 7, but if you look on the left hand top you will see a little nose going the wrong way...and the double tail just below that.

And some random cuteness...

Enjoy!!! Shaz

I started seeing their personalities the day I first took pics of them...They are really comming out now, that one in the last pic will not hold still at all...the ruby one loves exploreing, have to count mice every two seconds with that one around...and there are a few that just love to sit there and have their pics taken.
