    Age of babies
    So for some reason, I really can't remember when Noel's litter was born. I remember sending my sister a text about it but I deleted it. I updated my rat log on the 3rd saying she had given birth, but that would make the babies 2 days old today. Today they weigh in at 9-10g and are developing color, so I know they are not 2 days old.

    Probably 7-9 days old they start to get hair and color.

    They have no hair yet, just color. So far I have two light colored ones, 3 dark ones, and 1 hooded.

    Thanks everyone! I guess we will say they are 6 days old today and I'll adjust my notes.
