OK heres a twist in the story (what i was talking about before); when we went to buy rosabella, she was in the smae cage as the boys. In the cage there was four rats; two male, two female. We only took one female (rosabella). but that other girl rat was still in the same cage as the boys. so she has probably already had babies but she probably doesn't have a home yet. so whatever babies that other female rat has will be subjected to a cramped cage with no nest, two ,ales that might eat them, and a mean manager that will kill them even if they survive the first conditions! so whatever babies that other mama rat has will surely die. i wanted to take her in, but i knew it was out of the question since we already had rosabella and her babies. i feel so bad though.
