    Babies

    Anyone find rat babies loud? Got my first batch yesterday, my rats are kept in my living room and they have not stopped squeeking. Anyone else find this?

    Yes, she has been with them since birth and they have been nursing. Sometimes they make no noise and other times they don't shut up.

    Re: Babies

    Newborns seem to make squeaky little noises. As they get a bit older, I bet you don't hear them as much.

    It's totally normal. They're just nursing.
    I find that it's more of a pink/fuzzy thing. Like Doolittle said, it goes away with age.

    Re: Babies

    When I go into my rat building all the moms get out of their nest and I hear hundreds of babies going off. The really weird sound is at night when thousands of rats are eating, sounds like it's raining.

    Re: Babies

    Glad to hear it just a pinky thing lol... I don't think I would be able to handle it constantly to tell you the truth. and it does seem to be when she leaves the nest, or walking all over them :p
