Answer 1

Care and feeding of mom rat:

A good healthy diet is recommended before, during and after birth.  Any foods that you offer during gestation should not cause the mom or her cagemates to become fat.  During lactation extras can include a small amount of dried quality kibble added to her regular food mix or you can offer her a kitten milk replacer (KMR) step 2 mixture.  Make this by taking a heaping teaspoon of the powder mixed with warm water, cream of wheat cereal and rice cereal for infants, this should be a thin gruel.  This mix is also great for the babies once the open their eyes.  Thick oatmeal or rolled barley make easy to eat first solid foods for babies.

Answer 2

OK i had a pregnant rat but she already had her babies listen very carefully do not touch the babies at all or shell eat them OK next if the boy rat is in the same cage as them you have to do something to separate them because shell start getting really aggressive with him and there's a chance shell eat her babies so remember all of that!Oh and you can also feed her celery and stuff like that to keep her healthy

good luck :)
