All the eyes are open! Some of the girls are still a little "blinky," though. Surprisingly, Eve is not one of them. She has open eyes just like the others. This is probably the cutest age. They have a rat look with their fur and tails and eyes, but they have baby faces, round and big heads. They are starting to learn how to be rats. They are walking around, cleaning themselves, scratching, and even "tasting" me. It is little baby nibbling now. Eventually they will learn to lick instead.
I spent a lot of time with Egon today. He really responds to me. He's such a light "black." If I didn't know better, I'd mistake it for another color! He slept on the back of my neck for a while and seems fascinated with hands. The other particularly outgoing one is Einstein. He always seems to be the first to be out and about. Below are some pics of Egon and one of Eve.
Dash is still being a good mom but doesn't seem to bother dragging the pups back to the nest anymore. They find her. Athene is spending more time with Dash now.
