The rat does give birth to a live young but at a consequence. When the rat gives birth the young is trapped in a poisonous sack just like the placenta. The rat will free its young by eating its own poisonous sack, but will die due to the build up of acid. The young will then feed on its mother to get strength.
A pup is what a baby rat is called.
She buries her young.
Buck
unlike humans, there is little stigma in the animal world that would prevent a rat from conceiving upon reaching adulthood.
A male rat is a buck or bull. A female rat is a cow or doe A young rat is called calf or pup and other names.
The average litter size a rat may have is anywhere in between 8 and 12.
It all depends, a rat can have up to 20 "kittens" a litter. This doesn't mean it will though, my rat had 10 babies. Hope that helped!
