Well, I got them from the Pet store. They came from different pet stores cause I didnt want brothers and sisters breeding.
They must be getting closer to full grown by now, but I dont really know the weight of them. They are getting heavy.
I feed them a mixture of foods. Some hamster food, mixed with small dog food, with some cereral when we have some in the bottom of the box. and maybe a treat now and then. Boiled egg or something special!
They live in a small cage, about the size of a 10g tank I'd say. They use regular wood shavings as bedding.
I've had a rat breed in the exact same conditions last year and she had 12 babies. So I can't see it being the conditons they live in.
The boy is black, and the girl is like a brown, white mix.
Good point Jo, I rerally should not have put them together that early and I am lucky they didnt breed then, but what about now??
and I'm not worried about the size they get in the end, I'm just worried that the boy will be bigger then the girl and I have read that they could inflict some damage during there regular boxing bouts if she can't defend herself?
Should I not worry!?
