Female rats in groups often share the responsibility of raising pups together that is not unusual. Its very possible that she ate some of the pups because she decided there were too many... or they werent big enough (I am not an expert on why rats make the decisions they do). I normally dont put more then 3 whelping females in the same tank at a time. Go to some fancy rat breeding sites and see what they have to say.
