Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / July 2007when did *that* happen?
I just got the boys out to spend some time with them coz they were trashing their joint, and when I looked, looked at them I noticed that they weren't 'babies' any more! They have apparently 'grown up' overnight. Maybe someone swapped the babies for grown ups when I wasn't looking. They had to almost get in the soup I was having for dinner too. Seems they like bacon and lentil soup. cheers M&m >I just got the boys out to spend some time with them coz they were > trashing their joint, and when I looked, looked at them I noticed that [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > cheers > M&m rats looooooove bacon. > I just got the boys out to spend some time with them coz they were > trashing their joint, and when I looked, looked at them I noticed that [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > cheers > M&m I know exactly what you mean, I was thinking the very same thing.:( My guys are almost 3 months old now... no more babies.

Do boy babies generally eat more than girls at this age? even allowing for the 3g/5b ratio (two are next door :s) the boys seem to devour thier food in half the time that the girls do.

The girls *had* a 1.5 inch high soup bowls for both wet and dry food, the boys a 2 inch high one, with the boys getting a little bit extra for wet food, and by morning their wet food is gone. Totally. None stashed. The dry food takes them about two/ three days to disappear. The girls on the other hand, would still have wet food in the bowl the next morning. Could just be they are ...were..fussier.

I guess my girls are officially women now as they were notably "frisky" this weekend (the first time I've seen them act this way). The boys are still dipsy and silly so the baby title continues to suit them. It would be so nice if rats could stay in that popcorning stage for a lot longer, it just came and went so quickly.
