I'm curious: how big does a rat grow, in terms of weight? I'm guessing they are larger than hamsters (obviously!), but smaller than guinea pigs?

A fully grown rat's weight can vary massively. Most females that I have had get to around 300/400g but males can get to a massive 900g! My boys at the moment are around 600g.
Eventually Nova's colouring will fade, so she'll look more like Thor and Albus as she ages.

How many rats do you have in total? Are they all living together now? |
I have a total of 19 rats now! (NO MORE I SWEAR) All the girls are currently being introduced together, so when thats all done, i'll have all 13 girls in the same cage. And all the boys live together as well, all 6 of them.
