Where are the babies!?

Nice first litter out of her Jamie, that's a very decent number for a first time breeder. You obviously are doing right by your new colony, she and her babies look great.

Thanks Jo! We love this rat, she is very social. She is doing a great job so far with the babies...

Well, its a week later and all the babies are fine. Its so funny to see the mama drag them around the enclosure still attached to the nipple. Here are some pics:

Its funny, I can't tell whether its that or get away from my babies. She was so sweet before the babies but she has been a little testy when we check them out. Fun stuff!

Aww! How cute. :clap: Little hooded babies!! :sweeet:

Jamie, wait till your "lil social girl" nails ya once or twice just for pulling out the food bowl to feed her or to grab the water bottle........
