Well, it's been my experience that lactating animals always take a beating, the longer they lactate, the more "worn down" they are. The extra calcium you might gain would be neglible, nontheless, we are talking a few milligrams at best. If you want the most bang for your buck, feed pregnant rats that are within a day or two of their due date. Guinea pigs are insanely high in fat, if you are looking to add fat (although I doubt you are). Rabbits are going to give you the highest quanitiy of calcium, if that's what you are looking for.
