Eight squeaky gifts!

Description

As i made a little poll about who will give birth first, most of people guessed right, it was Míša! ^^ Todays morning i woke up at 6:30 am to go at school and i checked Míša and ofcourse!! I knew it last night that she might give birth so soon too hehe..she already had there like 2 or 3 babies!

So i guess that she started at 6 am already. Anyway, she is so young yet it all went very well and she knows what to do now too. In the end she has 8 babies, she cares about them very well, babies are alright too, jsut squeaking like crazy whenever she moves o.o never knew that rat babies are so noisy, never head it in any video of rat having babies, so its a surprise xD

Anyway, when she was giving birth and i took one to show my mom, Míša was bitting my fingers.. not in agressive way..just...like if she grabbed my finger and tried to push it away, hehe, she wanted some peace around...

now when everything is done, she lets me touch her babies, licks my fingers again and so on... so yeah ^^

I must say.. i already know how it is with kitten newborns..but baby rats are totally a new experience! They dont have any fur so when you touch them, its a bit...sticky, or anything. Also they are bigger than i expected o.o they are like half of forefinger! They are also so...fuvhnrwiofnhwofnhco just cute! Like... endearingly ugly xD cute and ugly at the same time, i just gotta love them ^^ im also glad that she only had 8 babies instead of 20 as people say :faint:

I think that barča wont have more than 8 babies too for sure.. tomorrow its a first day when she might give birth, so we will see..she seem ready for last 4 days already.

Update:
so far it looks like Míša has 2 boys and 6 girls ^^

Update 2:
No, i am not going to give them names because 1 - they are too small and all the same so far, 2 - they will get new owner when they are old enough so names will be up to the owners, 3 - ill keep only two or three from the litter and those will be named after i know their personality

Normally you shouldn't touch the babies for the first four to five days. It stresses the mother and some rats will abandon their babies if you do. It seems you where lucky with your rat. :)
