    First litter

    My rats have finally given me a wonderful litter of babies! Of course this comes after my one bp finally started eating f/t again!! (figures! ) They were born Monday and all 11 seem to be doing great. Miss Zeta seems to be a wonderful mom. She's very relaxed and seems to be nursing those little ones very well. I can't wait until they get a bit bigger, and will hopefully be keeping a female or two from this litter. The trick is not to end up with 11 new pets. Just thought I'd share my newest little arrivals.

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

    Very nice first litter Christie. You were and are obviously feeding and caring for the mamma rat well, those are lovely fat pinks with nice visible milkbands. Congrats!

    Re: First litter

    Thanks. They're the cutest things, and squeaky too!! It's a good thing you told me that the mom will sometimes break up the litter. I almost freaked when I came in and could only see 6. A little searching turned up the remaining babies in another pile.

    Re: First litter

    Yeah, ususally when I had a mom "pop", I could always tell they had babies before I even got into the room, cause I could hear the peeping of the babies first. Congrats! And remember..... this litter= 1 pet, 10 feeders ...

    They are super cute. The mom has been pretty cool with me checking them out. I love that you can see the milk bands too.

    All those those cuties squeaking is getting to me. 10 pets and 1 feeder right?

    Re: First litter

    My rat TJ had her first (and only) litter 7/22, she had a 14! I couldnt believe it....14 babies and she is such a tiny tiny girl.

    I have only 5 left as Khan and Lola both LOVE gobbling them up.

    I havent made any pets (im norotious for doing so) but Its sad to see em go.
