    Megacolon rats

    Hey everyone. I recently had a new litter of rats and they are super chubby. There is a 3 blazed rats and the rest are berks and hoodeds. They are all chubby and about 2 weeks old. I was wondering if they might all have megacolon. I'd assume rats with megacolon are still fine to feed but if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

    A rat with MC looks like it swallowed a golf ball, not just chubby. And they are full of feces, you don't want to feed of rats with MC in my opinion.

    Good to hear. If thats the case then they probably don't have megacolon. They are just fatties. Thanks.

    Here is a link to a website that has a picture of two litter mates. One has megacolon.
