Biggest Rats

[Jay_Bunny]

I have males that are growing very fast. I'm sure they will never be as big as some of the males out there but I consider them to be some of the biggest I've ever had. One male is about 2.5 months old and weighed 323g this morning. He's going to be a big boy. So what are your biggest boys and girls? Pictures would be fun.

Wholey Moley that's bigger than my pinstripe!

I don't have any rats, but I've seen some pretty big ones at PetSmart... They kinda creep me out, so I don't have any pictures, lol.

My other male is almost 6 months old and when I weighed him at 5 months old he was 403g. He's been away for 3 weeks, breeding with one of my sister's female rats. He comes home tomorrow, so I will get a new weight on him.

Guess no one wants to play. Creampuff, my bigger male, lost some weight while at my sister's house. She used a different food while he was there and only recently switched to Mazuri, so I'm not that surprised.

I had a female hit 450 grams (1 Pound) once. I think the record is 1.5 pounds for any norway rat.

my biggest male is 656g he's about seven months old and little by little he's still getting bigger!!!

Now that Creampuff has been home eating his normal food, he's gaining weight again. He is 6 months old now and weighed in at 430g and he's still growing. Bradley, the male I got from my friend is at 373g and he is around 3 months or so old.

The one I chose as a pet was born in a litter of only 3. He was literally a rolely polely fat baby from the day he was born. Had folds and was the pudgiest pinkie I had ever seen. He is about 2 months old now and looks like a 4 month old. Hes all brown with a more round face than most norways. Looks like a long tailed teddy bear! I'll have to weigh him. Im sure he's going to be a nice big boy.

Last time I weighed any of our males the biggest was a little over 700 grams. He grew a little more after that but not much.
