Rats usually don't all get on the same cycle so you aren't going to have 30 babies all at the same age. Rats go into estrus and get pregnant within 24 hours of giving birth. I wean and gas at 4 weeks of age. You can wean at 21 days. Yes, a 20 long works fine for 1 male and 3 females with babies, nursing their own.
