The breeding season extends from March through August. Muskrats mate while partially submerged or on water-logged debris just above the surface. The gestation period is about 28 days (extremes, 22-30 days). Females bear 1-4 litters of 1-14 (average 6-7) young per litter. Newborn muskrats weigh about 22 g (0.8 oz), are pink, blind, nearly hairless, and have small round tails. They grow rapidly, their eyes opening at 14-16 days, and are weaned at 21-28 days. Most breed as yearlings. The life expectancy for an adult is 3-4 years; potential longevity is about 10 years.

Where do rats have babies?
Rats are a type of mammal, and as such, they reproduce in essentially the same way that other mammals do. Baby rats gestate in their mother's uterus and when they are ready, they come out. The major difference between the birth of rats and the birth of human beings is that rats always have multiple births. They are born in litters. Humans are usually born one at a time.
Do female rats and male rats stink?
In general, rats do not give off an odor or musk like many other animals do. They bathe themselves (grooming behavior), so they do not require other forms of bathing (and it would not be good for their skin anyway). Therefore, in terms of hygiene, as long as their cages are cleaned regularly, they will not stink.
