I just weighed the Quack Pack again and here are the results:

____________2/6/09__3/18/09_4/26/09
RatPhooey_____9.2_____11.0___11.7
RatHuey______11.2_____13.1___14.7
RatDewey_____14.6_____15.4___16.6

Dewey's over the one-pound mark! Lately, Huey and Dewey have been diving up my sleeves as soon as I put my hands in the top of the cage, then squirming up and down until they get tired of it -- Luckily, they are in the bottom of the sleeves, because their little claws are *very* sharp. Also, they are all letting me pick them up much more easily now. I've tried them on my Nutren 2.0 and they seem to like it... But that's the stuf that's drinkable, esp with some NesQuik added to it.

When my daughter was here, we bought a nice loaf of unsliced bread at Wally and I cut a hole in one end of it -- Over a period of time, they managed to eat it until it was a shell -- She got a photo of Phooey poking his head out the end -- I tried to post that one here but was unsuccessful, so maybe this link will work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77835134@N00/3353420037/

Here's one of all three; Huey is at top, then Phooey and Dewey at bottom -- As you can see, they like to sleep in a pile:
