How to sex your rats
Rats (In my opinion) are VERY easy to sex. Below are some photos I've taken over the yrs of males and females at various ages. Here is a video I posted on
YouTube, about sexing rats. These babies (as stated in the video) are four weeks old. Yes they are BIG for four weeks old. Mom had a small litter and I feed (IMO) a great diet for nursing moms.

Males of course have their very large testicles and females don't have "dangly bits"
Males do NOT have nipples, unlike females. Here is a link on how to sex from pinky to five weeks old. I will be adding my own photos soon. But in the mean time this is a GREAT site.
