Need some advice about my hairless rats babies and her
Okay so my Hairless Rat had 8 babies about 6 days ago, birth on the 23rd, anyway she is looking skinny, and usually they look plump with milk, but she doesnt, but the Babies look kinda healthy there starting to get some color to them because there not totally hairless they have a patch from head mid way down, i have a 6 tub rack and this is the first time ive noticed a skinny lactating mother but im not sure if its something i should be concerned about or what,
if it is something what should i do, give them cheese or something cuz of the dairy, im feeding them food that looks like mazuri pellets and its designed for rats not mice im told
Thanks

i couldnt find out how to edit, but i just went and checked on her and i took my auto watering system that i just installed like 6 days ago, and i pulled it out and just made some water come out on an empty part of the Cage with out any bedding and she drank it for a while so that leads me to believe that she doesnt know how to use the Automatic watering system so i but both a water bottle and the copper nipple, im gonna put a bowl in there in a bit too
