I have a little girl, whom I've had for about 4 months. When I got her, she was supposedly like 6 months I think. She has always been the size of maybe a 3 month old rat. I weighed her today, and she's only 240 grams. That just seems really tiny to me. She's perfectly healthy, her body is perfectly proportioned, and she eats really well. She's the alpha (which is so damn cute when she's getting all 4 of her cagemates in line) and has never even so much as had the sniffles. My question is, is she considered an actual dwarf (she's a little bit bigger than the size of a large mouse, hence her name Moose), or is she just tiny? Has anyone else had a rat that stayed so tiny?
The pictures make her look a lot larger.
