Oh - I'm so glad to hear they are turning into bouncy babies! That
soy baby formula is very tempting to them and great for mixing with
all manner of stuff. I've even mixed Green Mush in with it, and
they like that, too. Now you've got new healthy babies -
congratulations! I'm glad the "extra pets" or "livestock" went
away, too. Ug. What lucky ratties!
