Update (pics to come I promise) all 15 ratties were born with 4 fingers and 5 toes. They are gaining about 5 grams a day and they all seem like cute little happy ratties.
Quik question though.
How often should I handle the babies for proper socialization, and how should I handle them?
I’ve been handling them in short bursts more frequently as they’ve grown, and I hold them in my hands and pet them lightly with my finger.
Yup there is only one problem…………I want to keep like 10 of them (sad laugh) I shall have a very hard decision to make when they have to go to new homes.
