    A quick question for you rat breeders
    Hello again everyone :),

    so today i opened my rat rack and in my isolation bin where i keep a single aggressive female breeder for now, there was lots of spots of blood in places. At first i thought she got cut but she looked to be fine until i picked her up. shes bleeding alot from her female "tiddley bits". i have never seen this before. is there any advice i can get from any of you guys? any feed back is much appreciated:) thanks for your time! :)

    Is she pregnant and maybe in labor?

    She could be about ready to pop if she's pregnant or just goin through a heat.

    as for her being in heat do i have had rats for maybe a month or two and had a few litters but this is enough blood that it causes me concern.

    Rats don't bleed when in heat. If she isn't pregnant, then it's probably an infection. She's might start bleeding again. If it is an infection, it can be fatal. Antibiotics may be required. In especially severe cases, a spay may be required.
