Hi! I got my 2 rats on 6th and 7th of Febuary, Aries(female) and Eros(male)
A summary of what happened:
I recently found out that Eros is a male.
Aries gave birth to a litter of 9 babies 15 days ago.
From time to time, I would put Aries back in the cage to play and run around, because the tank where she gave birth is a 10 gallon tank, and I don't want her to be in a small area for too long.
Eros would get jumpy and active when I put Aries in(I still thought Eros was a female)
I realized that instead of her stomach getting smaller, Aries's stomach gets bigger instead.
She's pregnant, again, this time with Eros's babies...
I need advice on rehoming my babies, if possible I don't want to send them to the pet store, I'm aware that some pet stores are unethical and would sell fancy rats as feeders. And also how I should take care of Aries and Eros now, since they are of opposite genders and would keep on mating if I keep them in the same cage...
