    RATTIE 911- SEND BACK UP! (Sex my baby?)

    So, we really wanted a rat to keep my current one company since she's been depressed (her sister died a few months ago)...we met a man who claimed to be a breeder and it turns out he breeds them for his snakes. No big deal. He shows us his 5 week old babies and we pick one. He seems uncertain, but says it's a girl. I just want to be sure before I introduce her to my current baby 😂
    Can you tell from these pictures? If not, I'll get more. These poor rats were kept in disgusting conditions, and my fiancee couldn't help herself from taking one just to save it!

    I'm not a rat sexing expert but it looks like a girl from here. Note how close the genitals are to the anus, this denotes a female. Even a male with undecended testies would have the penis further from the anus. Once the testicles descend it is super easy to tell

    She has scabs on her and they didn't start until after Laney died. I think she is obsessively grooming from stress so a friend will be a good thing

    Yup, they do not do well alone. A new pal is a great idea.

    Thank you I should've realized sooner. So far so good! They're grabbing each other's faces and licking...good?
