Sexing two week old rats?

[fishcitizen]

Does anyone know if you can or not?

Experienced people can sex them at a day old.
Around 10 days of age the girls develop nipples so easy to sex at that point.
If you post good pics of each baby, we can help.

Take clear pics similar to this one, in how to hold so we can determine its sex...this one is a boy at 8 days old

Thanks!
They are actually 10 days but close.
I did a google search and looked at pics. It's not much harder than telling the adults apart, besides the balls!
It's quite a difference in space between the parts.

Thanks for helping, I think I will be okay.
=)

I will post pics soon though, so people can reserve if they want a pair.
The biggest variety of coats that I have ever seen in any litter.
Hoods - Baige, agouti, silver, black, and blue.
Berkshires - Black, silver, agouti, baige.
One solid black and two solid white - one black eyed and one ruby (possibly odd eyed, it looks like one of them is black, we'll see when they open.)

16 in total. Man they are so adorable.

I thought they would all either look like mom or dad or a mix of both, but there is a huge variation.

You can compare the "spacing" on the different babies in order to sex them.
