Okay, one of my breeder girls Snitty had her litter the other day, I found them strewn about the cage, cold but alive and she could have cared less about them. I took them and put them with Idgey (dear girl is the best foster mom ever)who, being the steller mom that she is, took them in (there were four survivors).

This is the second time Snitty has done this, it's obvious she has no maternal instinct, she's not a bad rat, very vocal but not that cuddly. Easy answer, feed her off right?
Well, my dilema comes up in the fact that she and Idgey are very close, when they are in their 'momma down time' they do everything together.

So, do I still feed her off? Or do I keep her as a companion rat?
