Awww well if she's a bit overtired from two back to back litters that could easily explain the stress reaction. It could also indicate that's she's a bit run down from the constant pregnant/birthing/nursing/pregnant thing. I'd let her have a good bit of rest afte this group is fed off or weaned.

A good breeder female rat is worth her weight in gold to me. My big, robust females produce large healthy litters for me, rarely lose an offspring and bounce back well after their litters are off them. A bit of rest between litters is, I think, a good investment in keeping that female producing at the top of her game both in litter numbers and in her usual breeding life.
