My first litter has finally happened. How long does it take until the pinkies become small rats. Im trying to breed my females in stages. Thanks

The pinkies will be "small" at about 4 weeks of age! :) Congrats on your first litter of rat pups!

About 5-6 weeks. They're weaned at 4-5.

4 weeks or so is my experience. 4-6 for smalls, they usually start hitting medium 6 or 7ish.. I have a 7 weeker that is sitting at 220 grams now.

This is my experience with my small litter (5) they are at 120g now at 6 weeks old! For my others (12) they are right around the chart sizes I have where smalls are about 5 or 6 but smaller smalls....
