hello everyone! this is my first time posting here so i apologize if i mess up or do anything wrong but ya know. i've just recently gotten a female rat (from petco, i couldn't help myself she is incredibly friendly and she was alone) she is my first female. i got her on the 10th, and i've started to notice that.. well, she's a bit round. she most definitely looks pregnant but i would like confirmation. i don't know how old she is either, they weren't sure but i don't think she's older than a year.
if she is definitely pregnant, how far along do you think she is? i'm a bit worried as my family is supposed to go out of town on friday and idk how that would work with the babies? i have been planning on bringing her anyway just.. yeah! thank you for any help, i really appreciate it. it's nice to have all these groups so i can consult the 'experts', lol. i may take her to the vet, although i'm not sure if it is absolutely necessary.
(also yeah the cage is small, it is a travel cage as i'm not home right now. i promise i have a big cage for her!)
