If your rat is nesting and starting to get nipples, she may be pregnant, but it is possible that she is having a 'phantom pregnancy' where a rat show the signs of being pregnant but doesn't give birth to offspring.

Do cats have nipples?

Yes, all mammals have teats all the time. Just like humans have breasts (which is what we call human teats) even when they aren't pregnant or nursing. Males have them too, but they remain undeveloped. When a cat (or human) is pregnant or nursing, the tissue that produces milk will be active and swollen making the teats (or breasts) protrude more and they will be temporarily larger.

You can usually tell if your hamster has produced a bulge. IF you think your hamster has only been pregnant a few days, you may notice her acting differently like collecting up alot of bedding or food. Hamsters have a gestation period of approximately 16 days.

Are nipples supposed to be inwards?

It's not completely uncommon for nipples to be facing inwards, but if they cause you any pain, or anything comes out when you gently squeeze them, I'd suggest seeing a doctor. The only exception to this is if you are pregnant, and what comes out is breast milk. If your nipples facing inwards is bothering you, you can gently squeeze around them with your (clean) thumb and index finger. But if they don't pop out when you squeeze gently like that, then don't force it.
