although your post is rather confusing, it is common for what you described to happen. Mother rats give birth in a communal location. They share babies and often help in the raising of other rats' babies. The mothers will even go to the point of fighting over the babies. They can do this to the extreme of hurting the babies. Now fathers on the other hand are exact opposites. Males will kill another males' babies. Say a female gets pregnant by male 1 and you move her to male 2's cage, when she gives birth, he knows they are not his, so he will kill them. He wants only his offspring to survive. Its very interesting. Hope this helps and i made some sense. It is late and I am tired. Please excuse any errors as I am not going to re-read this before I post it.
