My Lyla is about to pop. I bought a 20 gallon aquarium. How do I create the perfect place for her to nest and have the babies? What bedding should I use (I know not care fresh, etc) and what should I be giving HER to use to make a nest? Any ideas, help, or tips would be amazing!

Hey guys... well, I have fallen completely in love with how sweet rats are. And after Sienna died the other day, I decided that I would go through a breeder to get a healthy rat. I did some googling and found what looks to be a decent breeder. She just had a litter and has accepted my...

Does anyone know the difference between a regular rat and an ASF rat? I have just heard of these and am a bit curious. Is there a size difference? I have heard that the temprement is not the same, like they will bite before they calm down, and are very jumpy.
