  • can another female be in the same cage as the mother is giving birth? and is there a higher risk of preg complications if the mother is only 7 weeks old?

  • They can, but there is a chance they will fight over the babies, or stress the mother out to the point where she destroys them. I find it is better just to leave the mom in her own cage. With a very young mother there definitely is a higher chance of complications, but likely her litter will be small and she should be able to handle it all right. Rats shouldn't be bred until 4 months old, but unfortunately many pet stores keep both sexes together and they get pregnant way too early =(
