Before breeding rats, ensure that the rats you are breeding have good health histories and temperaments. Also remember that rats can produce up to 15 babies in just one litter, so be prepared to keep all of the babies that you can't find homes for.

If you're sure you wish to breed your rats, introduce them to each other on neutral ground (for example a bathtub) to ensure they will not fight, then put them in the same (clean) cage together overnight.

Female rats' pregnancy lasts for approximately 21 days, and you may not see any signs of pregnancy until late on in that period. However, look out for increase in weight (buying a set of scales in recommended), bulging stomach, increased appetite and nesting.

Good luck breeding your rats.
