  1. It is irresponsible of you to put TWO males with her and then expecting not to have rat babies. You might soon be overloaded, but if you have a place to give the rats away, then good. If you don't want her to have any more babies, I think thats no more males in the same cage for her =P


  2. She just might be pregnant. Take her to a vet ASAP to see if this is so. From what you have said, you weren't being careful enough to realize that they were having s*x. You must take her to a vet to see if she is pregnant. Good Luck!

  3. She does sorta look preg but you can take her to the Vet and have them to a test on her....

  4. cant tell from pic,she could be,either take her to vet or wait it out,if it were far along enough her tummy would look lumpy

  5. since female rats go into "heat" every 5 or 6 days its a good bet that she is pregnant. and she can get pregnant again 24 hours after giving birth to the litter she is probably pregnant with. you shouldn't have put her in with 2 males in the first place, hoping your pet doesn't get pregnant doesn't work.  even if your males were fixed, you have to wait at least 5 weeks to put them with females. you should have done some research BEFORE this happened. there are so many unwanted rats already and quite possibly you're going to have to find homes for up 24 possible rats now.

  6. Can she move that much.  Have any boys rats got to to to close :).

  7. yes i think she may be try and take her down the vets they can proberly tell you if she is i hope she is aswell she is very cute and you should get lots of little baby rats soon fingers crossed xx p.s good luck
