    Hi Jeff! It's Robin!

    Sounds like you've got another pregnant momma on your hands! Gestation is about 3 weeks.

    yes sir!

    If you want to see alot of babies try ASF rats. I have 5 females in one tub and they all have a litter of 12-15 and they have another litter 3-4 weeks later just as the first one is weaned.. its crazy.

    ASF's have just as many pups in a litter as domestic rats, but I have noticed they are more likely to have the BIG litters than domestic. My ASF's pop out between 14-18 in each litter.

    Re: Am i going to be a dad AGAIN???

    Hmm.. I've gotten a little too lucky with my rat mommas having big litters- every time it's between 12-17 babies, with every mom I've got.. I have a new girl that is having her first litter right now- I've only seen three, but there might be more and she looks like she's not done yet-at all-so I'm going to guess at least 10.. But I'd be a bit relieved if that was it- theres already SOOO many rats from the last litters!!! lol
