Water broke?

[CoolioTiffany]

My female rat is preg and this morning I checked on her. Her "area" seems to be a little bloody, so I figured her water broke and she may have her babies soon. I was wondering until how long after her water breaks does she give birth or goes in labor?

Rats usually only take 20-30 minutes to have all of their babies. Just leave her be for a few hours, then check again.

Aw ... my rat had babies last night too!!! I read it is usually within the next couple of hours at the LATEST.

Water breaking means babies are coming shortly
