I had two females drop litters today. 1 had 6 pinkies and the other had 10. I currently have them in their own tubs to raise the young.

Can I put them in the same tub since all of their babies are the same age?

I'm asking because I could really use the tub space to help clear out some of the other rats. I also have 2 more females that look like they're going to drop babies very soon.

If they drop babies tomorrow could I potentially put all 4 of the mothers and there litters in the same tub for at least a week or two?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thanks always,
Anthony-
