I just had to check this out and see what rat babies looked like! I've never kept rodents, myself, but we had so many mice on our farm when I was a kid that we'd find the little babies everywhere.

They're adorable! I can't believe she let you put them on your hand like that. Did she act nervous? Are rats loving mothers? How long does it take for them to get fur and open their eyes?

I think you should post pictures every day until they're through the baby stage, so we can see what baby rats look like when they're growing up.
