Was checking in on my rats and it looks like a couple of the girls in this colony popped the last couple of days. When I looked in and saw one of the ladies sprawled on top of this huge pile of babies I was relieved. They're a young colony and this is the first time they've allowed more than 10 babies to survive at a time. Keeping my fingers crossed that they're getting into the swing of things and starting a new, non-cannibalistic trend.
Some grow outs from my agouti pair and a brown doing its best to remain inconspicuous.
What's left of an agouti litter, I like to keep 1-2 bed warmers for the next group of babies.
