Once I got a really good feel of little Sweetie I realized those babies are coming soon. L Vanessa suspected but I was sure we had awhile :doh: They are moving low down in her belly. You get fooled by the belly but then you realize how tiny she is that she does have one very preggy belly.
These rats are much younger than 8 months...I would say a malnourished stunted 4-5 months (IF we count that Sweetie had a prior litter). BUT I guess the word stunted is definitely wrong to use in this case, they are beautiful little happy rats. A bit nervous but they all really want to love someone. Very little effort to make these guys practically bomb-proof. I re-intro'd the sweet brother back to his PEW brothers, completely uneventful. I found him cuddled up to one of them on the shelf. Poor Sweetie is confused, where is her big Brother??? :sad-p:
I weighed them all and am still in some shock.
The brother Dexter is 240 grams
Leon the bigger PEW is 221 grams
Lucas the tiny shyer PEW is 202 grams
Sweetie even with her baby weight is only 196 grams.
Dexter
Leon
Lucas does NOT dangle :lol:
âLeon, hide me!!â
And last but never leastâ¦Sweetie
Someone found the fleece box
