More of Gift -  the lone babe

continues No . 2

Story of Gift. The struggle to exist by a lone rat kitten born to good parents but destiny fated him to be the only kitten in a big empty nest.

This page now  follows his progress from his 13th day of life

it is now the 8th of July. 2002 ...

13 days old.  Walking out of nest and already lapping

and chewing milky maderia cake.  8th July. 2002

Of course as you see here,  after his feed he tends to fall sleepy on my warm hand

Here is Rosy loving and caring for her boy though she has'nt any vital mothers milk for him.  He has reached the magic milestone of 14 days of age.  Note:  The fresh Clover is offered early and the 'marble soup'.
