Well, a week ago a friend of mine at work asked me what to do about a lump on a female rat. I told her that she needed to take it to the vet, as rats quite often develop abcesses and tumours, etc.
So today, she asked me what to do with babies. Well, she asked if I would be willing to take the rats in with their babies. :doh:
They are her son's rats and he was told by the store that he bought them from that they were both girls. They were about 5-6 weeks old. So now they are probably around 10-12 weeks. :gaah:
Anyways, I'm going to take them in and start trying to look for homes for the little eepers. The parents are both black selfs, and I haven't seen the babies yet. I think they are 3 days old.
I have never done this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to go check older posts now.
