Thanks everyone for your responces.

I've been using Mazuri for their food, but I Havent put together a hopper system yet so i just go in every day and drop a handful of blocks on the bedding. I'm gonna get the hoppers put together ASAP and see if that helps! Thanks

And yes some people say first time mothers will do that and some will disagree. I wouldn't write her off just this instant unless you have plenty of mothers to replace her with.
I am using Mazuri but another breeder I was buying rats off told me that he cuts hs mazuri with puppy chow for prego and nursing mothers. He says the extra fat and protein helps them and he found he lost less babies doing this. Once they're weaned/small he says he takes them off the puppy chow and puts them on straight up mazuri. Anyone have any experience with this? I haven't been doing it but i've been wondering if it might help..

Thanks again everyone!
