Re: Yea she POPED
Nice looking litter! I haven't found rats to cannibalize like mice do. They will dispose of a sick or dying baby, but not for seemingly "no reason" like mice.
The next challenge will be feeding off your first litter - that was very tough for me.

Re: Yea she POPED
Yep rats are generally easy as pie to breed. It's pretty rare, though not unheard of of course, for a female rat to reject or cannabalize her healthy young. Very nice first litter and that female looks good! Nice coat, nice size...good job Mr. Rat Breeder! :D Remember now momma rat will need more water and food than usual as she feeds the lil teat leeches.
