Do rats get spooked like hamsters so eat their babies with too much interfernce? DOn't want to be grim just cautious.

no hun they don't, have checked this with lots of ratty people and info sites, you can handle them straight away and they don't eat them etc , the only way they do is if they are poorly...

On a lighter note this is very cute and as a previous rattus owner very hard to resist saying 'baggsy me have two' I wish but really not possible right now.

awwww I know I have already said im keeping at least two!!

once they have a proper coating of fur they'll be brilliant. don't get me wrong, they're lovely now too, but they do look a bit like a pile of bks.
