OK, now that my first Rat litter is a week old, the second female popped. This was sooner than I expected. Now I need a water bottle for her to move them into the glass aquarium (forgot it today when I went to get the food but I'll be getting one tomorrow). So the male is still with her. I read the FAQ's on this forum and it says they can breed as soon as they're done weaning.

How soon after giving birth can rats breed? The reason I ask is because I can't move her yet, she's still with the male and today he was already mounting her again. I don't really need back to back litters. She had 11 and the fist had 7. That's 18 weeks worth of food for my one little snake, if I don't keep any of them.


I'm sure I'll come up with more Q's but it's getting late, so for now ty for the help on this one.


I'll be getting a bottle and food dish tomorrow after work, just hope she isn't pregnant yet (for her sake).
