We have a few yellow rats I could post some pictures of if you're not very familiar with what they look like as adults. I hope the rest of them hatch for you and that they all eat.
They seem pretty lukewarm; they're reactive when you put a hand near them, but they don't strike. When should I attempt feeding? I am going to have a rip of a time getting mouse pinkies..
They were from my friend's YR pair; sadly, the female escaped shortly after laying these, but he could very well possibly be living in her store. I am going to have to find homes for them, because if I take them back to the store, I know that deadbeats will buy them and return them in a month dehydrated and thin.. I will possibly be posting them on here, but still getting the shipping figured out.. my friend is able to ship DHL, has anyone ever done this?
Schlyne, some of the eggs did go bad, but there are still two more that are nice and round (think they're slow developers, but they look ready to burst!) And two more who have slit their eggs, but are NOT coming out yet!
