rat babies!

This girl does a great job, shes got about 15 babies in there (the litter of 2 mothers) and shes a first time mother. The other mother wanted nothing to do with the babies.

Re: rat babies!

She's an extremely good mommy.. She's taking care of 15 babies... 9 of which are the other mothers.. She's exhausted but she's still there, still over them protective as can be.

Re: rat babies!

I like rats when they're pinkies and fuzzies, and when they're young and adults. But I can't STAND weaned rat pups. They're so gutsy and fearless and I really don't like it Once they're over that phase I'm OK again

Re: rat babies!

As long as she keeps pumping out babies I'm fine. Gona feed her to a snake eventually, but for now, as long as I have a second mom with babies that can take over I'm happy.

Bad moms and dads all get fed off right away here too.

Eating my pinkies is grounds for immediate death.

Re: rat babies!
