Yep she was Christie. I've never had a female before or since have that kind of delivery. I seriously thought she would either bleed out or I'd have to put her down to end it. Thank goodness rats are extremely hardy creatures and she's bounced back with lots of rest and tons of good food. Thanks to Becky and Jeanne who were great sources of info when poor Alita delivered that day and I was in a bit of a panic.

This is one of Alita's offspring from her first litter with us (the father was Nova the Black Hooded). I think this one is a quite nice example of a black and white husky. Just remember there is a slight chance that Husky marked rats can carry the megacolon gene so don't breed them to high white rats or blue rats.
