Hey all recently I've undertaken breeding rats. I had my first litter on the 13th. Every so often I go and inspect my ratties and the babys just to make all is well.

There eyes just opened yesterday and today I notice some brownish-yellow mess on some of the babys rears. They all look healthy other than that I just started to get a lil worried so I turned to the forums for help!

I am posting some pics of the parents and of one of the babys butt. Sorry I have an ancient digi and they dont stay still! lol

Any help is appreciated!
