Okay, new Rat Question

greenman1867 · 02-02-05, 05:55 PM

Okay, my 2nd female just gave birth, the thing is, the 2st litter is about a week old now and the new mom just piled her babies up with the others. Will the new babies stand a chance at getting fed with the bigger ones there? Its a big pinkie Rat Pile with 20+ babies in it.

Thanks

They'll all be fine. Rats usually make VERY good moms. They will both feed and care for the babies together.

Yup, they'll be fine. rat moms have a way of working things like this out and all the babies get fed.
