I bought a big young male breeder and 4 female breeder rats. I purchased one that was already about 2 weeks away from giving birth so in a week or so I should have pups .

I have never breed rat before so this will be a first. But it should save me some money in the long run..

Real quick how I am housing my male with the females and separated the soon to be mother. How do I tell when the others become pregnant sooner so to give them a good restful birthing tub???
