    Krystal just had babies!!

    My rat just had 9 babies! Finally!! After 2 months of waiting, this is the first batch of babies. I was getting ready to give up. Not anymore!

    Do I need to do anything special for the pups? Advice needed. Thanks!

    Nope, just give mom food and water. I can see the babies have nice full milk bellies. Good job

    Like Jessica said just make sure mom has access to plenty of food and water.

    Congrats!

    Re: Krystal just had babies!!

    Wow, that's easy!

    When can I put mom and dad back together so they can breed again? Can I touch the babies? And at what age can I differentiate the gender? I want to keep some females as future breeders. Hopefully tame them as well.

    Thanks guys!!

    Since you've already separated them, I'd wait until they are weaned to re-introduce dad. Because he will not recognize the pups and may harm them if you put him back in, after removing him.

    CONGRATULATIONS~!

    Mom will do the work for you. Make sure the pups have plenty of bedding and check them for milk bands.
