Gday folks,
I have two pet rats (male and female) which i recently bred. The breeding pair are our pets so im a little attached to them. This was my females first litter, and i was advised to house the male seperately as they can eat the babies. So i did that...
The problem i noticed today is that the female has a large hole in her side. Its around the size of a 5c peice. Is this her doing it or the babies?? She laid about 2 weeks ago. So they are fuzzies/pups. I dont know what to do. Attached is a poorish picture, but hopefully you get the idea.
Anyone experienced this? Any advice please?!?!?
