(its pretty silent)

Answer 1

dont stress about the lack of blood - i believe rats are one of the many animals that eat the placenta immediately after labour for its nutritional value

Answer 2

Rats don't need any help to breed. Getting them not to breed is the trick. Figure that one out and you'll get a Nobel Prize.

But, congrats with your pet. She'll be fine. Just feed her well, she'll do the rest.

Answer 3

dont touch the babies and just leave her alone, she knows what to do.

Answer 4

Dont touch her, keep a close eye on her! She knows whats shes doing! Congrats tho :)

Answer 5
