Bandit, my blue-masked hairless female had her babies today. She is being secretive about them so I have not been able to count them. I had to move her nesting box to another cage so the other females in the cage with her did not bother her, but it looked like Bandit had pretty much made it clear that she didn't want ANYONE in the nesting box with her and her babies. I caught my other hairless female peaking into the box a few times before I had moved them.
Bandit is my youngest female. I have 2 males and I am really not sure which one is the father and may never really know. Dad 1 is a cream colored rex with black eyes and a soft, shy demeanor. He carries for blue, and obviously for hairless too. Dad 2 is young Brucey (Bat boy). He is the youngest of all the rats. Brucey is hairless, but has fuzzy testicles and a long curly hair here and there on his body. I am unsure really what color he actually is, but he had a colored head at LEAST. He has black eyes too.
Some of the babies look darkened already. I would love to have a dark colored hairless rat, so we'll see soon what colors we will get from this litter.
When I find out how many babies are in the litter I will post that, and will try to get a pic of the litter as soon as momma will let me!
