Hello all - I have been patiently waiting for weeks, to adopt a companion for my girl Luna. Our local Humane Society ended up with a plastic bin of rats that someone dropped off on the side of a road... fortunately they are healthy. They were quarantined for a period and then a few weeks ago, the males were released for adoption. They held out on the females due to pregnancy concerns... with good reason - they have many babies now. My question... how long will those mamas have to nurse the babies before the young can be on their own and the mamas would be available for adoption? Will having babies and being separated from them be any cause for concern regarding the rat I adopt? If I follow the recommended procedure for introducing the rats to one another, would there be any issues because the new female has had babies? Anything I should be thinking about?
