UPDATE!!! My female (Jill) has just given birth!!! The're soooo small. I knew it would be soon cuz last night I saw them moving inside and could tell that she was in labor. There's lots of blood but I don't think that she's eating them though. I'm soooooo happy. This is the cheapest way to optain rats that I've found. Especially since my petstore dosen't sell sm. rats.
