I have been keeping a jumbo rat alive for over a week now, my male BCI isnt interested in food right now, he is courting a female. But I tried to feed him anyway. So, on either xmas eve or xmas, she gave birth to 4 or 5 rat pups. I touched one of the babies, later that night they were still all there.
Yesterday, I gave her some water and food, then went about my business, I didnt pay much attention. Then today, I checked on her and all the babies are gone. SHE ATE ALL OF THEM!!!. There is no way in hell they escaped, they were in a rubbermaid for one, and two, they were only a few days old. Why would she eat her babies, was it my fault cause I touched one of them?
