I have a good breeding group going having a litter every two weeks or so . I check on my rats twice a day and separate out the pregos as soon as I see that their getting to be a little waddley. I noticed a female getting plump so I figured to night I would take her in the house for birthing time like I do all my others. Get home and there are 10 big pinks in the tub but the one I was expecting to pop is still prego and I hadn't noticed any other ready to pop. I looked at all my other rats MMMM "Area" to see if any looked like they have given birth and only one did a big female that gave me my first litter. All the pinks were scattered all over the tub and no one rat was paying attention to them. They all had nice big milk bands which means they were fed. I took the prego and the suspected mom inside but haven't noticed her caring for them or nursing last night or this morning but the hair around her nipples is wet looking this morning.

Heres my question if the one that I think isn't the mom can I put them and her back with the others and see if the mom will continue to nurse them with out the others bother them? And will the mom except them after being gone for 24 hours???
