And we have babies!!!!
Can you believe we only had 5?!!! That's incredible.
It's possible, but we're fairly sure that these were the only ones born. She's still a little plump but is now a bundle of energy and she's doing a fantastic job of being a mom. She's a little nervous but is rather welcoming at the same time!
You can see the milk bands on most of them, all of them are pretty healthy.

like most all rodent babies, rats are born with their eyes and ears closed as well as no fur. Its kinda funky looking but they'll have hair when they get a few weeks older. It comes in like peach fuzz first and then looks normal and soft, then more of an adult coat.
... unless one of the parents was a hairless... then you get some that only get the peach fuzz and nothing else.

Hairless is a recessive gene, but it's unlikely to be carried by any of the possible fathers and the mother. She's a lovely standard-coat siamese: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2753439/ while all the potential fathers are standard coats too: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3373767/
hehe I swear somedays I have pinkie-itis, only satisfied by staring at adorable pictures of litters on goosemoose XD I've never had a litter of my own, I plan to foster many more for the rescue. I'm so glad this is such a small manageable litter ^_^
Yes, she's almost proud to have us play with them, she doesn't seem to mind.

Not yet, we wanted to give them back, we'll handle them more today and tommorow, we wanted a quick headcount.
My name is Moondust on Goosemoose, I only post periodically. I don't always like how militant some of the people can be on there, so don't post as much as I used to. I mostly post about my rescues, ask for help or give advice on things like half-wilds (I've had two and still have one).
