URGENT Transport Needed...Oshawa to Toronto

[Joanne]

Momma looks just lovely! She has a wonderful expression. I'm glad her daughter is following her lead - hopefully it will calm her down.
They don't look too bad off. How is their body condition?

Very good, coat, skin body shape all very good. Ian was feeding them peanut butter and whole peanuts for a week lol

Weights this morning, and names

r
Ria (mom) 265 g (-1)
Roo (baby) 207 g (+7)

Congrats on scoring a real home Ria and Roo!
Here's hoping they go into heat soon! raying:

Hmmm opinions needed?

Ria and Roo were caught Sunday afternoon, and I got them Monday night but didn't weigh until Tuesday morning, so last exposure to possible male wild rats was Sunday May 10th, AM.
Ria (mom) intake weight was 266 g, she weights 262 grams this morning so she's lost 4 grams...I can rule her out as pregnant at 13 days.
Roo came in at 200 grams, and after a lot of ups and downs she weighs 223 grams today, a total of 23 grams in 13 days, but this could be food/growth rather than pregnancy weight.
No steady solid gains that creep up daily, so what's your feeling?

 

[Joanne]

A 23 gram increase for 2/3 of her pregnancy does not seem like she is growing a lot of babies. I wouldn't get too excited about that. Any signs of heat?

 

[lilspaz68]

Maybe but its hard to tell she stops bouncing around when I try to see. Lol

 

[lilspaz68]

Roo is definitely in heat tonight..
Woohoo!!!!

 

[Joanne]

Yay! Break out the cigars!

 

[lilspaz68]

They are improving daily, and are more handleable now.

Hi ladies! I'm glad they are coming around. Have you thought about introing them to another group now that the baby wait is over?

 

[lilspaz68]

Yes, I have some ideas.
