ok, so i went and picked out a beautiful nice female naked rat.. when they lifed the hide she was in below her were five perfect little pinks. they asked if i still wanted her and that they could take her babys away and feed them if i didnt want them.. of course i told them not to be rediculous and lifted mommy and all her babys into our travel cage. they are all home now and shes actually nursing them wonderfully. on the way home i did pick up puppy milk and a little bottle in the event i notice her babys not eating. my question now is what should i feed her in addition to her mazuri blocks? i want to make sure she has enough nutrients to feed herself and her five pinks. for the record we do plan to keep all babys. if they turn out to be males (which i dont know yet cause i tried to handle them as little as possible) we will have them neutered so they can at least live with mommy. until they can get fixed we will have them seperated when its nessesary to wean them. shes a bit dirty from being housed in a not so clean enclosure with her and a group of other males (as well as a few stray females) but i was scared to clean her up in fear that i couldnt because of her babys.. so whats suggested here? im housing her on shredded phone book pages and a couple articles of clothing my children donated to her. right now shes in a 20gal long tank with a screen lid. half of it is covered with a towel to make sure its dark and comforting.. any suggestions? should i make any changes? here are some pics of her.. i havnt decided for sure on a name but im thinking lexus and naming her babys other types of cars..





i was also thinking of naming her something like "perfect" or "beautiful" in another language if i could figure it out... thanks so much everyone!!!!
