I was mid thought and typed something else.
If you need full grown rats it usually isn't good for a mommy to have more than 12 babies to raise by herself. If you just raise them to 2 weeks to feed smaller snakes you can usually watch them to make sure they all have milk in their bellies. If you look closely you can see the big white spot on their belly that is the milk they've eaten. As long as they all have that 'milk band' they will usually make it. If you dig through a pile a babies and at the bottom are a few that are really skinny and with no milk bands, those are usually the ones to die, either give them to a nursing mommy with smaller/less babies or put them in the freezer in a ziplock baggie. They prolly won't make it anyway.
