you didnt even get beautiful angle for Thor and he's still the cutest! look at that sleek hind, the adorably inquisitive gaze, the pert little ears...he is surely the finest specimen or rat!
*Facepalm* Good catch. I fixed it. See, this is why I needed to create the pictures! I'm forever getting their names confused. Some of them I've got down. Mostly it's just Klecks and Mink that I get confused about sometimes now.
...Dammit. I accidentally labelled him as Klecks in the second picture. But I fixed it!
I always get confused with the names of those two as they've not had a chance to have something to get their names firmly into my memory. Thor and Darwin I spent ages trying to tell apart at first, so that got them in there firmly. Aislin's the only girl, so that's easy. Miki was the one I put a picture up of when they first opened their eyes. Lovelace is the tiniest baby, and the last to be named. Biggs was named by a friend of mine who I talk to on msn a lot, so I talk about him more. But Klecks and Mink! They were both named quite late in the game, too, which doesn't help.
Oh yeah, Biggs and Mink look loads alike, but I actually find them pretty easy to tell apart because there's one key and very simple difference. The main splodge on Biggs back is more joined to his head browness than Mink's. You can probably see in the pictures how Mink's just barely touches it and Biggs' is fully joined.
From a non-biased point of view, probably Aislin is the cutest. But Lovelace is tiny and adorable! And yes, thank you Zolac, it is indeed an excellent name for a rat! (although I forgot he was a boy when thinking of it. But who cares!)
I think Lovelace possibly has the most interesting markings, though. I don't know, Darwin and Thor are pretty cool too... The white marks some of them have on their heads, including Lovelace, aren't that common. It's the kind of mottled pattern he has on his body, though, which is the rarer trait. If you look at Mink and Biggs, they're probably the examples of what the common hooded rat looks like. Variations from that = rarer.

Lovelace is an excellent name for a rat.
...Um, you appear to have Klecks twice. Who are we missing?
