ASF's weaned and Hmm not sure
I have a set of 4 week old rats i weaned them a few days ago but when i looked at them this morning they don't look right ? They are really pink and looks like they have less hair . I wonder if i weaned them to soon or is it just me today LOL . I have had a lot of litters but never noticed this before . They are alert and running all over like the rest of my rats but they kinda look goofy to me for some reason today ! Just wanted to see if anybody else has had this happen ?

i wean about a week after they open their eyes, had no ill effects.
what are you feeding them?

Re: ASF's weaned and Hmm not sure
Which formula of Harlad are you using?
Are they also getting adequate ventilation? There was another poster on here who had a litter with very red skin and patchy hair and it cleared up once he moved his tanks around and got a little better airflow.
Also what color are they? My RED's always spend a week or so looking thread-bare with pink skin when they start losing their baby fur and growing in an adult coat. I never see that kind of pinkness on the other colors.

I often have the same issue with our ASF's doesn't seem to matter how soon or late I wean them. In a week or so they will get back to normal. I think it may have something to do either with them being hot or peeing on each other.
