Guess I'm going to be a rat "foster grandma"....

Yay!! Milk bellies sounds like a good sign!

Can't wait to see pics when you can take them.. I've never seen baby rats before!

I am waiting for a video now to upload to YouTube. I was able to shoot it real quick before my camera died. I just want to document every thing each day, lol!

We might have more like 7-8 babies. I am just not sure. I can't wait to actually know how many is there!

Here is the video. Sorry the quality is poor. I will be getting pictures and a video tonight, when I take them all out and handle them for a few minutes. That should be fun, not sure how to get mommy away without getting bit.

If there was 20, you should have expected an arrival of 10 bouncing naughty baby rats in 5 weeks .

Sadly I won't be.

Every one...please stay awake if you thought about heading to bed right now. I have some cute pictures of eepers coming in about 15 minutes, then a video to follow shortly after . I'll also be announcing how many babies and their sexes (if I guessed right!)....

 

[undergunfire]

7 babies :biggrin2:. *I think* 3 girls and 4 boys . The runt is a boy, I believe, hopefully he makes it!

So, that makes Peg (Tinysmom) the closest guesser . This was her guess:
"So I'll guess 6 babies (probably way too low) and to make things more tempting for Amy- 4 boys and 2 girls..."


Video of babies on day 1....

All babies have pink eyes. They may all be PEW, beige, fawn, or hooded in beige or fawn.

Hey Amy, silly question (I've never had a rat), but are the babies born with fully developed teeth?
Or do they actually have a teething process?
They remind me of little manatees...

Congratulations on a successful delivery... You're some midwife!

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Ooooh I'm so excited! The babies are adorable :biggrin2: You have to update with pics every day now! I want some of your baby ratties...

I'm not sure, either, lol! I'll have to look it up. I'd imagine they are born with little teeth?
