Female Rat Behavior

[Snufflez]

ok... I have a question for all you rat lovers... I have never encountered this. My Female rat Auden is Humping everyone... Sadie.. Rufus.. Thisbe. Why would this be? She never did this before until i introduced two new females today. Could it be one of them is in heat???

She is probably trying to dominate them. My girls sometimes hump eachother to try to show who's 'boss'. Esp. since you just introduced the new girls, she is probably feeling territorial.

Girls will do that to one another when someone is in heat.
