Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / September 2005Multimammate babies.
I have multi babies at last, here's some pictures of them. http://www.hamsterhouse.co.uk/gallery/jakewc2?page=3 John. OMG! They're so cute. And there's so many!! How many did the mother have? Jacqui >I have multi babies at last, here's some pictures of them. > > http://www.hamsterhouse.co.uk/gallery/jakewc2?page=3 > > John. There are two females that had babies, I have no idea what had what, because all the babies were crèched. There's around 20 of them in total. Both females feed the babies, and the males take food to them. Its the first time today that I've managed to get to see them all without the females guarding them. John. > OMG! They're so cute.

Wow!!! What beauties!!! Is there a market for those in your end? Um... you might have to mail me some. lol Joanne Owned by 14 rats > > I have multi babies at last, here's some pictures of them. > > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Joanne > Owned by 14 rats Hi Joanne, its not a big market, but I've already had a few people ask me for some, when they are ready to leave. They used to be everywhere apparently, but a while back they just stopped breeding. Nobody knew why. Then a some people imported them from Europe, and thing started to take off again. They are really cute. I'm having to learn almost from scratch, as their aren't that many internet sites that deal with them, and what sites do, can't agree with what information they give out. Its really interesting watching them. John. Good for you !!! They are so cute that I think a tax is needed !! Hahahahh Hi I was able to pick up some of the babies for the first time last night. I've added a couple of pictures of them in my hand. They are so quick though.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Joanne > Owned by 14 rats Hehe, thought you might like to see this. I had to change the cage yesterday as it was ponging a bit. Just before I did, the female decided to move all the babies from the old nest, which was almost falling apart, to the Cyber Ball. Fortunately I had taken it off the stand, and just left it in the cage. http://image58.webshots.com/58/1/18/10/447111810lCbIxq_ph.jpg Hope you like.

They have started to eat solids and are drinking from the water bowl, spending less and less time with the mums. http://community.webshots.com/photo/438678934/452966513fGeuFd http://community.webshots.com/photo/438678934/452967049rFSvuP http://community.webshots.com/photo/452966952/452966952xcOZMC http://community.webshots.com/photo/452966780/452966780XulvWB Hope you like SignatureJohn www.hamsterhouse.co.uk http://community.webshots.com/user/jakewc2 >I have taken a few more pictures of them now they are getting older.

Hope you enjoy. http://community.webshots.com/album/438678934SlsgYR jakewc2 > Hi everybody, I have put up some more pictures of one of the females with > some more of her litters if you want to see them. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > jakewc2 She had another litter already? Is that ok for her to have back to back litters? I know in rats this could be way too stressful on the mom. They sure are cute though. Joanne Owned by 14 rats > > Hi everybody, I have put up some more pictures of one of the females with > > some more of her litters if you want to see them. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Joanne > Owned by 14 rats Yes, it is ok for her to have had a second litter. In the wild by now she probably would have had her third. She would, if I hadn't now separated her from her mate. have gone on to have litter after litter without stopping until she couldn't have any more. They can have litters every three weeks until they are around 14 months of age. I wont be breeding with her any more, the same as the other two females that had their second litters. I've added some more pictures of one of the babies, I'm trying to get them tame, its taking time,but I'm getting there. If you look on page three of the album you'll see them. (How many pictures can you have per album, I've added more, with the little one stuck on my finger, its showing on the webshots desktop thingy that you add you pictures with, but there's nothing showing on the album online, can you let me know if its showing ? There should be 50 something pictures in the Album) http://community.webshots.com/album/438678934SlsgYR jakewc2 >>>Hi everybody, I have put up some more pictures of one of the females > [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > > jakewc2 OMG!! I love the pic of the little one on the end of your finger!!! Too sweet... If you are a paid subscriber to webshots, I think it's something like 50 or 60 per album.

That little boy is barely 4 weeks old. I'm trying to get them used to being handled, but its taking a lot longer than I thought it might. He will grow to the size of a small female rat. They can reach about 5 to 6 inches in length. The males keep growing way past 18 months of age, and live to about 2 to 2.5 years. jakewc2 >> I love the big multimammate piles, and the shots of them on your finger > (are [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > jakewc2 I didn't realise they grew that big, I thought they were a similar size to mice. They really are beautiful looking. Are the ones you have known as huskies, as they remind me of husky rats. Do they come in as many different colours and varieties as rats? Tracey > >> I love the big multimammate piles, and the shots of them on your finger > > (are [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Tracey Hi Tracey, the browney looking ones are called Black eyed Cinnamons, and the others are called Agouti Brokens. I know there's a red eyed Cinnamon, an agouti, but not sure of the other colours. There are about 8 colours. I've not seen any other colours than the ones I have though. I would like to get more colours, its finding a breeder that has them though. jakewc2 |
