Hi, one of the girl rats I bought at the pet store last week gave birth today: 9 little bubs. I knew she was pregnant since last Tuesday and so were prepared. But we never had rittens before, so we're really excited. Here are some pictures of Waffle and her brood:

Waffle, when we first got her. She's a bit shy, so this is the best shot I got.

Eepers, a couple hours old.

I think I see milkbands?

Yep, some definite milk bands.

All dark eyes it looks like, they could all look exactly like mom. Cuties.

Waffle's babies are four days old now and doing great. They're nursing, moving and eeping. I can see some colors on their skin now. I tried to make out the gender of one of them, but everything's so tiny...I think I'll try in a week or so.

Waffle and her bubs:

The nine eepers: (I think two are dark like Mom, some seem to be hooded and one is all light?)

"Auntie" Squishy, all alone in quarantine, but I think she'll have her own eepers soon.

Phew, Auntie Squishy sure looks like she's going to pop any day now in that picture! What cute little babies!
