How can you tell if your rat is in heat.

Answers:

female rats come into heat approx ever 4-6 days and within minutes of finishing birthing =o

they will quiver and rump present if you stroke along their spine

their ears will vibrate [sure sign]

and they will be quite jumpy to the touch

they also start acting like little tarts if there are males present and will try every escape trick in the book to get to them

and no they DO NOT bleed like humans =(

if it's a female... the rat will bleed like humans.

help me with my answer please!

The ear-quivering is really adorable-- some of our girls have looked as if they were about to take off & fly!
