WOW! 16 any genetic?
Hi This morning my female that I received form petco(it was already prego but didnt no until I had it for one week) had 16 babies. do you think any of the babies will be genetic and have large liters like that? also that was her first litter. dont the litters get bigger?

Wow that is a nice big litter! I'd do like Daniel says and keep back a couple of the biggest of her daughters. Make sure that momma is getting lots of healthy food and fresh water though, that's a lotta babies for her to nurse.

I saw a rat that had 25.
One of mine just had 18.
It does tend to be genetic.. typically white 'lab' mice and rats produce larger litters than fancy varieties.

Once the 7 are weaned, I would leave the both moms in the enclosure. It will reduce the stress on the mom with the big litter and make for healthier babies

I do the same thing with mine. Lactating female rats don't care who's babies they have.
