Explosion of Multiple Births


Announcing one set of sextuplets, 2 sets of double sextuplets, and one set of double quintuplets!!!

It's hard being a midwife...even for rats!!

That's why I'm behind with my 23 things, because I've been dealing with 40 things!!

Here's a shot of one pigmented litter and one albinic litter:

In the first picture, is the mother rat actually giving birth?

No, you would not want to interfere with the birthing process.

The picture was shot 2 days after the birth of the pups.
