    i pretty much expected her to loose some but not that many. and some lived for about a week and a half and then they just dissapeared not a drop of blood or anything i guess she ate them.
    oh but she loves the two that are left.

    I don't think those are tumors, tumors shouldnt come to the surface, rupture open and go away. That's an infection like a cyst or absess full of pus.

    Rats do have short life spans, only about 2-3 years. Their reproductive lives are short (only about 15 months of age or so), before they reach menopause.
