Freaky!
Congrats Tim! 
One of my female had 5 babies too 2 days ago. They are really cute. And it is fun to see a mother rat taking care of her kids (had problems earlier with normal rats). Good luck with them. Can't wait to see mine grow up.

Awww, they're adorable. One of mine just had 17 today! Good luck with your rats. So are you any closer to breeding hairless dumbo dwarfs yet?
Hairless rats tend to have a lot more health problems. Ive read that one of the hairless types doesn't even have a properly functioning immune system so if they catch a virus like SDA they will never fight it off and just keep re-infecting all the other rats that may have fought it off months earlier. For this reason I have up on trying to breed from a hairless male I had previously.
Well good luck dealing with a "rattery". They make you sign a contract and agree not to ever breed the rats or forfeit the litters if they find out. That's assuming they even sell you one to begin with, which they won't if they learn you have snakes and/or breed feeder rodents. What a bunch of nazis =)
Petsmart sometimes has hairless rats, though only in the warmer months cause they don't want to ship them in the cold.

If this is her first litter it's not too unusually that it is pretty small in size. She may have eaten a few of the babies if she thought it was too much for her to handle as well.
One of my female rats had a litter of 3 her first litter. One stillborn, one eaten. The other was raised very well and she's been a great mother ever since.
Coincidently the one baby from that litter was a little hairless. I think the best way to "breed" hairless rats is to have too parents who are het. The hairless rat that I have is very odd, I can not tell what sex it is. It doesn't appear to have nipples and it doesn't have balls! It seems to me that most hairless rats are somewhat equivalent to mules.

Well I got lucky getting the ones I have. Almost all the ones you will find are from "Ratterys" and unless you lie to them they wont sell to a snake owner. From what I am told they basically just grow slower and stay smaller, they are born about the same size. Ours are about the same size as a fuzzy mouse when born. As I said earlier they only have 5-6 pinks at a time so not to good for rat factory's but they do smell less and are very friendly.
