Interesting Rat Litter

Well Mike and I had a good look through this litter and whoever the daddy was he tossed in some nice genetics. Probably the prettiest black rat fuzzies we've ever produced so I think we'll hold this entire litter back and then resort them when they are good sized pups to see what everyone ended up looking like and for gender. May be some nice future breeders in here and they are unrelated genetically to our current colony.

The other female we got with Patches who was far too small for me to allow her to breed, unfortunately was already preggie it seems and delivered 8 pinks today. Surprisingly thus far she's doing okay with them and all seem to have slight milkbands. Hopefully it will work out for little Squeekers and her litter.
