Rat having only 2 pups?

[bokuza]

Well apparently she was pregnant when I got her, and I did have her with a new male and another female. When I realized she had the pups she was fighting with the male so maybe he killed them. I can't feel her belly she already bit me once when I went to pet her so I don't think that's an option. Oh well I guess I'll see what happens, thanks for all the replies.

Well it could be that the stress caused mom to freak out or bla bla bla million other reasons. It's happened to me. I bought a lovely female and popped her in with 1.1 pair. She gave birth and both the male and female roommates ate her young.
