Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2007boys weights
Wow, I just weighed the boys...and Barkley. Their weights are:- Barkley - 550gms (up 100gms/3oz since the vet visit) 19.6 oz Apollo - 325gms, 11.5 oz Samson - 325gms, 11.5oz Zeus - 300gms, 10.75oz Hercules - 290 or so 10.25>< Atlas - 275gms, 9.75oz They are doing well. Apollo is still the biggest of the boys, and Atlas the smallest. So...*rough maths* thats about 4- 4.5grams per day since birth. Barkleys extra 100 grams at 4.5 grams a day equals 22 days. So...yeah, that works, considering he didn't seem to eat the first week and he has been here 4 weeks. cheers, M&m > Wow, I just weighed the boys...and Barkley.

Love the names :-) > Ot's amazing how quickly they grow, they're not babies for long. > Love the names :-)- Hide quoted text - Yep, the boys are now 10 weeks old. "Yesterday" they were just trying to work out how to make thier legs move and I didn't have the slightest idea what games would be fun for little baby rats. As luck would have it, I just uploaded pics of them. http://perigrineseyrie.blogspot.com/2007/08/couple-of-boys-helping-me-with-hammo ck.html ;) cheers, M&m My Scoot is 441 grams, and i thought that was big, but knowing you have one bigger makes me feel a bit better. > My Scoot is 441 grams, and i thought that was big, but knowing you have one > bigger makes me feel a bit better. > > -- > Message posted via PetKB.comhttp://www.petkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/rat/200708/1 I thought that Barkley at a year old had finished growing. Guess I was wrong. :s > Wow, I just weighed the boys...and Barkley.
