Well Ang and I had a weak moment. We went to the pet store just to kill some time before she went to work and of course we had to go look at the rats. I'm a sucker for punishment I guess. I hate going to the pet store and seeing the conditions they're in. There was only one tank of baby rats and when I looked in I wasn't surprised to see boys and girls mixed together. I opened the glass and separated them and found two girls in with 8 boys. One of the workers came over to see what I was doing and I asked her why they were mixed together? She said they were fine together till they were at least 8 weeks old. I was like um no your wrong they can reproduce at 5 weeks. I was so annoyed. I told her we were taking these two girls and I wasn't paying full price so they charged us the feeder price.
So we took these two little girls home. They're hooded girls one is black hooded , her name is Sun, and the other is a gray hooded and we named her Charlotte. They were quite happy to leave that place giving us lots of kisses and even bruxing as we drove them to their new home.
I knew there was a very strong possibility that they could be pregnant but I figured they were better off with us then at the pet store. Anyways Charlotte's tummy looks to be getting a little bigger, especially compared to her sister. It'll be about 21 days this Friday. I'll see if I can get pictures for you all to judge.
These babies are quite young I would say 6-7 weeks at the most. I'm just worried about her because she's so tiny, is it dangerous for them to have babies at this young age? Also should they be separated before she gives,birth (if she's pregnant) or would they be fine together where they're both so young?
I'm going to try and get this camera working so I can take some pictures then post them later.
