Decorative rats rather lovely beings, but are also one problem - they too often bring posterity. If you want it to avoid, buy same-sex rats. If you dream of posterity, you need to buy both a samochka, and a male, and through a short period you will be able already to observe happy family.
Instruction
1. The gender of rats can be distinguished in 4 days, after their birth. But such kids still usually do not sell as they eat mom's milk. Remember that it is possible and to be mistaken in this age. If you want to distinguish infant rats by gender, then it can be done only in comparison. While infant rats still live with mom, it is undesirable to pick up them as the foreign smell can confuse her, and she will refuse feeding of the children.
2. At infant rats at the age of 2 weeks it is possible to notice that at males nipples when at the self-check on the stomach which poorly grew with fur mammary glands are obviously looked through are not visible. But there are different cases, sometimes and at males nipples so this method can be used only as auxiliary are well developed.
3. Put a rat on a hand so that genitals were well looked through. At females the distance between an anus and an entrance to a vagina is less, than at males. Also at boys rats it is possible to notice two dark stains which are located practically at a tail, with age they will begin to increase.
4. Approximately in 4 weeks of date of birth the males obviously differ from an opposite half. At this age they obviously allocate testicles which by 2-3 months reach the big size. Genitals of a ""strong"" half are located closer to a tail. Some people for this reason also do not want to buy males. Though it is noticed that they are slightly quieter than females and less often bite.
5. If you cannot distinguish a floor independently, ask the seller to explain to you. Do not buy heterosexual rats from one dung, sooner or later there will be a mixture of blood and sick kids can be born. If you want to buy two rats, but same-gender, buy the self-check better, men can fight during puberty. When one animal is necessary, acquisition of a male will be an optimal variant.
