a rat birth!

my rat (Dawn) has given birth! after looking like she has swallowed a tennis ball for a week, i heard tiny squeaks and had a peak inside her box (i did not touch them just looked from outside the cage) and there where the fat little pink sausages! ugly but still so darn cute! she now has bread and milk and is a good mother!

Re: a rat birth!

Oh please piccies???

Btw sorry if you know this but rats are different to hamsters...mum won't kill the babies if you hold them. Not that I'm suggesting going in now...but you can handle them earlier.

What colours are you expecting? xx

Re: a rat birth!

everything i have read has said dont touch them! i have bred hamsters and mice before and always just about resisted touching them! btw i have not bred her but she came to me pregnant as a 'job lot' with her husband (lenny) and a previous litter of 7 (the hooligans) but she will not be pregnant again! will take pics now. she is black with white paws and her husband is albino. the previous litter had 1 albino, 1 husky and the rest like mummy!

Oh yeah hamsters and mice you can't but rats are more intelligent and more tolerant. Though new mums may attack you so be careful but they won't kill their babies.
