@conrad161 I could sex the babies as young as a few hours old. However, I checked again a few days later as we can do mistakes when sexing a baby that is only a few hours old. When looking at a baby, the gap between the does urethra and anus are much smaller than the gap between the penis and anus of the buck. It is difficult to see at first but it gets more obvious when the babies are as young as 4 days old.
I had two litters, intentional, born on the SAME NIGHT! lol, mine are about a day away from opening their eyes & seeing us for the first time, I'm so excited :) It was the most amazing feeling waking up to a cage full of squealing little beans!
I've got an orphaned rat that's about a week old and he's close to opening his eyes. i'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl so if u could make a video about how to tell the gender of one that would be great.
cute, ive got an orphaned rat, i dont know exactly what age it might be. its sorta like the ones on the video. but it dosnt move as much. ive got another 2 female rats wich havnt had a litter, but do they feed aswell? im a bit worried i feed it milk with warm water :S
I have a litter of ratties right now too (the female "feeder" rat I got was pregnant), but mine only weigh 16 to 17 grams at 12 days old. :l Maybe because my girl had 14 babies?
It would be nice to see your rats. I had rats for almost 3 years now but never more than 10. I don't want to have too many. I will most likely adopt 2 little boys from somebody's accidental litter. They will keep company to Savvy and Davy Jones. Can't wait to see your video.
how do you tell the rats gender ataround that age or a bit older
