I was born 9 weeks premature and only weighted 4 lbs. I'm really glad my parents didn't have the mentality of some of you guys. Sure things weren't easy at first. I was hospitalized multiple times but in the end I turned out fine... Top of my class even.
Ever heard the term oranges to apples?
This baby was not born premature. It has genetic defects.
BTW if you want to start comparing rats to humans, I would suggest you not breed them just to feed a snake.
