I would say they're quite young though. I think we estimated them to be about 6 mos, although they could also be a year.Laura HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505496350345916564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751644509820779757.post-644782861573246652010-08-23T18:51:43.785-07:002010-08-23T18:51:43.785-07:00Is there a guess at how old Thelma and Louise are?...Is there a guess at how old Thelma and Louise are?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751644509820779757.post-52480075828866504222010-08-17T19:31:28.966-07:002010-08-17T19:31:28.966-07:00Thanks for everything you did, Grace =) Yes, Louis...Thanks for everything you did, Grace =) Yes, Louise is a fairly terrible mother lol, but at least she's a nice rat! <br /><br />Anonymous, I hope you do drop off cages, that would be absolutely fantastic!

I might have to drop by myself to check them out and drop off cages. <3 sending tons of positive energy in your direction with hopes they get adopted real quick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751644509820779757.post-39561071706754499002010-08-17T08:30:24.148-07:002010-08-17T08:30:24.148-07:00Aww, look at our little monkeys!

LOL If she wasn't nursing, I think she'd be completely useless. LOL Thank God for Aunt Thelma! The pics are great, by the way - we had an impossible time getting good photos of them. Clearly we need a better camera. Good luck getting the littlins adopted! We'd seriously consider a pair of them if we didn't already have a full house here, especially since we've known them from day 1! <br /><br />~ Grace & Casey (former foster parents)Gracehttp://www.digbyandsassy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751644509820779757.post-19264058762436434742010-08-16T16:38:38.997-07:002010-08-16T16:38:38.997-07:00Hi anonymous,

We have a staff member who is much better at it than I am, and he was away that day. Next time I go in, we'll sex them. They don't even have ID numbers yet, so right now we're just looking at them as a big mass of babies =P <br />Thanks for the tips though!Laura HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505496350345916564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751644509820779757.post-1409650476951954762010-08-16T16:32:42.168-07:002010-08-16T16:32:42.168-07:00You should be able to sex the young ones from birt...You should be able to sex the young ones from birth. Males have a greater separation between the genitals and anus, and have swelling in that area where the testicles will drop. It may seem hard, but when you compare males vs. females its really easy to tell. I am raising my first litter right now, and I was able to tell males and females apart at 2 hours old, even though I've never seen a baby rat before.<br /><br />Good luck, and good job! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
