The problem I have is both with PetCo and PetSmart. They seem to use the same breeders, but only PetCo gets the female rats.
The store I go to in Tulare is small, privatly owned. It is one of the few privately owned petstpres left in a 100 mile radius. The owner did tell me something interesting yesterday. When they are handling the babies, if any bite hard enough to draw blood they become instant snake food. Smurf is a moody/psycho thing, but she has never bitten that hard, just enough to let me know she wants some attention. I just wish I knew why she is so fascinated with my elbow (that really hurts).
Both girls made it through the night. rocky and Smurf, after some minor scirmishes, seem to be inseperable. they are curled up in the hamock together. Tink prefers the lower levels but has still managed to explore the entire cage.
They are both acting like normal, active baby rats. Looking back at the last 2 weeks, Remy was never as active as these 2 are.
