New Rats

[Jay_Bunny]

I got two new rats to breed when they are old enough. I'm estimating them to be around 6-7 weeks old. The male is a cream color and weighs 172g. The female is agouti? I think, and weighs around 160g. I was able to get pictures of female before my camera's battery ran out.

I plan on getting another pair of rats once I move so that the female will have a cage mate and the male will have a cage mate. I know they should not be bred until they are 16 weeks of age but I was wondering what their weights should be.

Here are pictures of the female, Nutmeg.

Ha! Got one more pic out of the camera before it died for good. Here is Creampuff, the male. I'm sure he's not a true cream but he is something else. I just can't place it.

Nice colors man, where do you get your different colored rats? Do you have a breeder who has every different kind or something?

Thanks for the reply. I get them all from pet stores or reptile stores that carry feeders. These three came from a pet store as feeders.

I can start breeding Nutmeg and Noel as of February 1st, so I'm excited to start breeding these guys. I want to get some more interesting colors when I move and have space for more rats.
