Look how small they are, hehe. I put them next to a Sharpie marker for size comparison, and I think it looks so cute :)
Here are a few other pictures.
Above are all the babies in my hand, haha, no bigger then my fingers (width.)
This one above is the runt of the litter. I know you probably can't tell the difference, but when you actually see them you can see the difference :)
Then this one (above) is the chunky baby of the litter. I think he's hogging mamas milk, because he is a little chunky : D.
And now below I am going to attache this one, my favorite. I don't know if you all knew this, but baby rats are so small and fragile that they are actually transparent. So when the babies drink you can actually see the milk in there stomach, so I took a picture of the tummy, so you can see the milk. I've used paint to point it out with an arrow:
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. I am going to take some more in about 2-3 days so you can see how fast they grow up. By the next time I can tell you more about them, like if they'll be male or female.
Right now all I can tell you is that 2 of them will be white with red eyes, 2 will be beige/white with red eyes and 2 will have black eyes and be black/white.
Take Care everyone! :)

ReplyDeleteAre they all going to have hair or some hairless?

ReplyDeleteGosh that milk trick is cute!! Too bad it doesn't work with kittens.
Great photos...I'm looking forward to watching them grow!
ReplyDeleteoh wow
ReplyDeleteThey are SO CUTE! And that is really cool you can see the milk inside their tummies. Looking forward to reading updates/seeing more pics!
ReplyDeleteI had as many as three mice at one time and never had babies, and I only ever had one rat. I was never even sure how to tell whether they were boys or girls. I'm so sorry about the baby that died, and I hope all the others do really well.
ReplyDeleteI am curious how you know for sure what color fur they'll have and what color their eyes will be.
Hi :D
ReplyDeleteYou can tell what color they will be because there skin color willbe different, like the ones that are going to be black/white have black colored skin. Also with the eyes you can tell because if they are black then you can see like little black dots where the eyes are going to be, but if there red then it just looks like little pink bumps :)
so smaaall >,< epi born baby rats!:D
