So today i was talking to my Mom and Dad more about getting 2 female rats for Christmas. As we talked and i explained their needs etc. we pretty much decided
IM GETTING RATS FOR CHRISTMAS!
Im so excited i cant wait.

So as im asking here how big are full grown female rats?

Thanks, Austin

Betty weighs 11 ounces and is about 8 inches long not including her tail, with her tail she's about 14 inches. She is almost a year old so she's full grown (at least in length, she might get a little rounder ). The pictures were taken with a twelve inch stick. She wouldn't stand still long enough to get a decent picture, but hopefully they will help a little.

This is Lou, she's my biggest female (fattest too, haha)

She's not fully stretched out either, fully stretched she's maybe 9 1/2 - 10 inches (not incl. tail)

Remember though - each rat is different. I have 4 sisters, each of whom are COMPLETELY different in size. I have one almost as big as Lou, and the smallest is almost half her size. I guess you'll never know what you get until they stop growing

EDIT:

Betty is gorgeous by the way! XD

Lilspaz, in the 2nd pic from bottom, back right, looks like your little rattie is giving a big ole grin hamming for the camera! LOL

lilspaz, your kyrie looks like my ginger... about the same size and colour... and she's my biggest girl.

Hahaha...Kyrie is actually from New Brunswick. They had a terrible rat situation there and she, her sister Kamali and the rest of her litter went on a very long rat train with some dedicated rescuers to come to me.
