>>I had two females drop litters today. 1 had 6 pinkies and the other had 10. I currently have them in their own tubs to raise the young.

>>Can I put them in the same tub since all of their babies are the same age?

>>I'm asking because I could really use the tub space to help clear out some of the other rats. I also have 2 more females that look like they're going to drop babies very soon.

>>If they drop babies tomorrow could I potentially put all 4 of the mothers and there litters in the same tub for at least a week or two?

How big are the tubs? Personally I raise mine together, that way I know they get along before they pop babys. At this point I would give them a couple days before moving them or they are likely to lose it. It seems like they are small litters and you don't want them not settling in as moms before you stir them up.
