I learned that baby rats take time to grow. They don't just pop out of an egg all ready to go. They take time, and develop slowly, like other living things.
Measuring a newborn baby rat is not that easy at all. First, you have to take care of them very delicately. Remember, they're NOT toys! One of the things you should do is clean out the birth cage. Be careful where you put the baby rats, and make sure you don't get bitten by the mother rat, since she's being protective of her young. Place them in a secure place, and then get a wet paper towel and clean all the dirt and other things that have dirtied the cage. Place the pups (name for baby rats) gently in the cage, and observe them. Notice that their ears are sealed and closed? Notice that they don't have fur? Just a bit of whiskers? Newborn baby rats take time for their traits to grow, just like us. Their hair will grow in few weeks time, and develop slowly. The babies will get more active as the first week passes. By the second week, you'll see that they're starting to develop by seeing some fuzzy fur growing. Did you know that you can distinguish rats by looking at their whiskers? Some whiskers are curly, and some are straight.
Taking care of baby rats can be hard as taking care of a real baby. As long as you care for them daily, they will be healthy and strong, and who knows? Maybe one day, they will do something that you never even thought was possible!
