need More advice about Surrogates and Timing with Rat Babies
Okay so i had a post from yesterday that basically said My hairless wasnt Doing well a week after Birth she was skinny but i think i know what was wrong she didnt know how to use the copper nipples from the auto watering system i fiz the problem thoe, any way i just looked and i have another litter from a dif mom sooo
I have the 2 mothers alone ATM and when i first got them they were together, (i first got them For free it came with 2 hairless and 2 Haired i know 1 male at least i cant tell with the other hairless)
anyway my mother hairless (lets call her MIMI cuz im tired of typing mothered hairless) so mimi has been in a fight with one of the Other rats her right eye is messed up and kinda bloody when i looked in the cage she was lying on top of the other mother (KIKI for typings' sake) mimi head was on kiki's body, i dunno if that was a show of affection or a show of obedience cuz that was the rat who beat on her.......
anyway on to my question sorry for being all over the place, i was wondering if i should join The babies (MiMi 8 babies a week old) (KiKi 13 babies 2 days old) the give the hairless a break from milking, or should i wait to join them because i want to get some surrogates together, but im scared they will fight, or kill babies or that babies wont get any milk cuz their littler than the hairless that are 7 days old
so any suggestions when i should put them together for best results or if i should even put the babies together, or any other advice on how to proceed.
Thanks
