Two large rats maybe :e. No I'd say that was an ovulation. Let us know when they come.

I really don't think thats an ovulation, it's way to high up towards the front, should be in the back third of the body.

Rather hard to tell from that angle - to me (and I'm no expert) that looks rather high up (more belly than oviducts) but again the angle can be deceiving and two days after a meal would mean shes not digesting very well?!?!?!

Got another shot.

I agree with Tasha.
Because how often does a female ball feed on two small rats 2 days before ovulation. I'm sure it happens and I hope yours is the exception, but I don't think it to be the norm.
I'd make a note of the date you noticed the swelling and watch for her to go into a shed cycle (approx. 20 days) if that falls into place, then in about 28 days keep an eye out for the eggs.
