Hello everyone!
I recently got two baby rats, my first since my first two boys passed, and the person who gave them to me claimed they were five weeks old. I went with it, because I've never seen any babies, only adults, but today I've come across pictures of other babies at five weeks and younger, and I'm a little suspicious of their ages.
Behaviour wise, they're great, friendly and adventurous, but also very sleepy and they nap most of the day, but eat and drink great. One is a dumbo, and the other is I believe a fancy, both from the same litter. I'm not sure about the parents, as I didn't meet them, but I do know the mother was a rescue from a recent hoarding case and gave birth soon after.
Just wanted to see what other people thought! All of their siblings were the same size, very active and excited.
Thanks! <3
