Newest Members of my Family

Hello Everyone,
I know it has been a while since my last post, I've been very busy with World of Warcraft my Deathknight also my Primary Character is now level 77. I have a 3X experience right now that is Rocketing him to the level Cap.

But I figured I should get on here and Show you all my newest Members of my Furbaby Family that i got on January 6,2011.
I was at Petsmart this month getting my supplies for my furbabies that I currently had when as normal I walked down the Small Rodents/Critter section. There was a sign next to one of the cages that said Baby Rats for Adoption. This struck me as odd but it also got my curiosity up, as I have had a baby rat at one point and loved her her name was Ginger. Well I decided to get some help and look into it a bit further. Well the Lady told me that the Rats had been born in the store on November 19,2010 and that because they aren't in the inventory they where Free, However they didn't come with the normal warantee. She told me they where very healthy and had had some hand training. She also told me that there where only 2 left, both of them Boys. Well I decided to have a look at them and well I have loved Rats and Mice and Hamsters since I was a kid. They where so Cute a bit bigger than Ginger was when I got her she was only the size of a mouse when I got her. These two where about the size of 2 mice. But Oh How I knew at that moment I first Saw them that I had walked right into my own Down fall I knew I had the Room and could take them both.  I try to not get attatched to the small rodants when I walk down the isle by not staying to long as if i stay to long or take to much interest that is when I do things that I really shouldn't do. But this time I knew I had the Funds availible to get them as well as most of the supplies already fact I was there for Buddy's(my peach fuzz rat) Normal Rat food and supplies anyways. So I was already there for supplies for a rat that was already in my home and I had Buddy's old Cage which is about 2 times the size of the cage the 2 rats where in at the store already.  I decided I didn't want to try and choose between these obviously very attatched Brothers, being Rats are a social creature it was just going to be better in the long run for there healths if i took them both. SO Low and behold I have 2 new Rats.
I got them home and settled I had a name for one of them already the Black and White one was so out going and totally ok with being held and defantly the protecter of the two. So I called him Sparhawk after one of my favorite book characters. There was the other one the mostly black one that originally I was going to call Harry Potter but that rat hadn't had as much socialization as the other one. He was so Skittish much like a theif would be on the Job as Theivery is a Nervious busness as Athalus says in Redemption of Athalus.  So as Harry Potter is very brave I very well name this little mostly black rat after HP so I decided to go with Athalus after the Theif and Sometime Murderer in my book. The names seem to fit very well.  Here is a link to The Redemption of Athalus overview- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Redemption_of_Althalus
and here is the link to the over view of the books about Sparhawk
Well I have finally take pictures of these two Hansom rats of mine.
here are the pictures of the boys.
This is Sparhawk he is my most Socialized of the two. He is so Cute. If I had had to choose only one of these two I probably would have chosen him. Good thing I didn't have to choose.
This one is Athalus he is So Skittish still even after I've been handling him daily. That is him hiding from me and the camera.
As you can see Athalus hides behind his Brother who is much like the character Sir Sparhawk of my book.

Athalus after many many flashes of rapped light decided to look at me to see what that light was.
Here is Sparhawk Finding out that the Wheel does accually move if you happen to put your paw on it he still hasn't used it like a normal wheel for the exercise however.

This is the Brothers in about the position that I first saw them in at the pet store. They both are to cute for words and I'm still working with them.  
I just figured that I would come on and make record of my newest members of the family.
Blessings everyone.
