    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?

    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.
