Well there has been a baby boom in my rat colony. I had one rat give birth Sunday to 12 pups. My big female had 16 on Wednesday and another female that I wasn't expecting for at least another week or two had a litter of 11, but they all looked a bit premature. One was born with a deformed face and two others have died.

Here are all the babies!


There are around 30 babies in there and the three moms seem to be sharing the load alright.
