Shunamite ex nihilo nihil fit (Lo) x Shunamite Memories of Gold (Thoumas) - The Thomatlos
Mating 10th October 2011 - Birth 2nd November 2011 (day 24) - in partnership with Lloyd of Eximius rats
This mating was planned due to Lo's exceptionally good ageing, at 18 months she looked younger than many rats at a year old. She had also clearly enjoyed her first litter and whilst these rats were lovely, they were smaller and hadnt inherited mums lovely type. Thom came from Lo's brother, meaning we would maximise the genes from that side of the family, who had done very well in terms of lifespan and health, as well as being lovely Tabi type.
Lo gave birth to 5 little babies, unfortunately 2 of the little ones died within a day, but this left 3 beautiful healthy girls. These grew into beautiful young ladies and now live with Lloyd and there mum Lo. All are still with us and ageing well. They are;
Isamu Lo and behold AKA Tigerella, agouti
Isamu How Lo can you go AKA India, black dumbo
Isamu Gold Dust AKA Peacevine, agouti dumbo
