Hi all,
I haven't been on in a very long time but I have something I'm a little bit worried about. My hairless rat, Tetra, is the first hairless I've ever had. And she looks pretty skinny/hunchbacked to me? My other girl, Moya, is much bigger than her, and a little chubby too. I was worried for a while that Moya was stealing food from Tetra so we have been separating them while they eat, but Tetra just looks skinny. Is it just a hairless rat thing/I'm too used to seeing furry rats? Maybe I need to see what a healthy hairless rat looks like to know what I'm looking for.
I just took these with my cell phone real quick, but I think in the second one you can see the "dip" in her belly that I'm worried about.
