Being mum

[Bati]

For 4 months my favorite boy has had the company of a sweet girl, Thursday my boy was pts at the age of 29½ months but actually I think the last thing he did was to his girlfriend. Her weight is:

27/10 362
29/10 383
30/10 393
31/10 408

Sweet Minuet is relaxed and no different, but I am completely out of it, babies are on their way :bliss: I am hoping for 19 babies :roll:

What a good age for the old guy...
CongRATS are the babies!! 19? wow... That's a lot of work for mum.

 

[Jack's_Girl]

Yay!!!! Babies are cute. ^_^
Make sure mommarat is good and comfy.

 

[Melissa]

CongRATS!!

 

[Bronwyn]

Ohhh I'm excited to see her progress.

 

[Bati]

Ups - babies are not here yet, I'm just stressing out in advance and dreaming of 19 babies completely franticly buying babystuff for them, while mum is relaxing and enjoying

 

[chicky82]

Congrats on future babies!!! :lol: keep us updated and when they come, post lots of pics :heart:

 

[starfoot]

Ah wow!!! Keep Mum happy and post lots of pics of them when they come..... why 19?? Is that how many names you have ready!?

 

[ratamataz]

Oooh, yay, CONGRATS!!

 

[Bati]

No babies, weight is 423 and I am so nervous and excited. Mum is building a nest and a little grumpy, so hoping to see babies very soon

 

[mamarat]

This is so exciting!!!

 

[Bati]

I am trying to get her on the scale, but she is REALLY big now! So what do you think? not impossible it will be 19 as I'm dreaming of :lol:

 

[Bati]

Got her on the scale: 2/11 453 grams - I can do nothing but sit and stare at her now!

 

[Bronwyn]

Holy! She looks close!

 

[jorats]

She's a big girl!!

Have you had a rat have that many babies?
I would think that the more babies, the harder on mum though.

 

[Bati]

I know small litter is better, this is my fourth litter, I've had 10, 4 and 2 kittens before, but Minuets mum got 17 so I'm dreaming for a lot this time :lol: just up at 6 this saturday morning, but still no babies, sooo impatient now

 

[Bati]

The waiting is driving me crazy, this is how she looks tonight

And this is how her mother looked just the day before having her babies

 

[Bronwyn]

Grace wasn't any bigger than that an hour before labour, yikes, it's soon.

 

[Nickelrat]

Oh my Lord, she's about to pop!! :wow: Best wishes to the sweet momma to be!!

 

[Cazsamps]

Aww come one we want babies!!! She looks like she has a fair old few in there!! Good Luck! Sending rattie labour vibes xx
