One of our next group of up and coming female rats delivered today and what a first litter! Betsy Buttpatch had 18 fine, healthy pinks...the largest first litter of any female I've ever had. All are doing great. Thank goodness another first time momma rat, DaisyMae delivered a couple of hours later and since her litter was only 7, I've fostered 5 over to her from Betsy Buttpatch. Nice day all in all with 25 new little red squeekers born and both females settling in well to their new jobs in the colony.
