::I got some nice large feeders from a reptile show, two were pregos. I need to know if I can put the two mothers and their pinks in the same cage as I am quickly running out of space. Including the pinks I now have 30 rats. HELP!!!!

:
:It will really depend on the individual rats. How old are the pups and how big a cage. I usually let two or three moms birth together but it will depend on individual temperaments whether two already birthed moms would get along.

The mothers know each other and they got along well in the same cage before the first gave birth. The first set of pups is 3 days old and the second set was born hours ago.
