Alright, all you rat breeders, I'm expecting my first litter of rats within the next week and maybe two.

Scarlett, my blue self is MUCH rounder than Mrs. Snuggles, so she's been set up in her own 10 gallon maternity tank with fresh food and water and some torn up paper towels.

If I were to guess, she's anywhere from 18-21 days along. Mrs. Snuggles is still with Caesar, since she's not visibly showing yet, and they can still keep each other company.

I tore up some paper towels and put them in with Scarlett - anything else that your ratties really like for nesting material? I've also got both maternity tanks set up in the bedroom, which is low traffic, low light. The second maternity tank is set up and waiting for Mrs. Snuggles when she begins to show.
