biggest litter size you've had?

i just looked in one of my tubs and the mom who was as big as a freaking tennis ball (no joke! i'll post pics later) has finally popped. i've been waiting for DAYS!

NINETEEN BABIES!!!!!!!

i know it was only from her too, as there are only 2 females in that bin and the other mom is still pregnant. i thought 14 was a big litter, but i'm just blown away and very happy with 19!

32, lol

32? That's amazing! My fancy rat (siamese) just had babies today. Her litter was 15 pups and I thought that was good lol

32!?!? jealous.

32 is nuts. The largest I every got out of my ASF's is 27 and I thought that was high. They are little breeding machines.

I stopped counting newborns because they don't all make it to weanlings. I also stopped trying to figure why some don't make it to weanlings.

They don't hit my radar until they hit the grow out tub - eyes open, ears up, eating block, drinking water, running around like nuts.

32 happened once, and it was nuts. :rolleyes:
I actually hope I never get another litter that big, it's no use to me! :P
