Arrow can I keep one?? *urgent*

I was wondering if I can let my rat Bonnie keep a female pup to raise and then I could keep her ad another breeder. So I guess the real question is, will she still raise the one after I take the rest??

Most often, yes.

I haven't experienced this myself but I have read elsewhere that with only 1 pup the female might not have enough demand to keep producing milk.

From my experience (1 year) you can keep as few as 3 and the mom will keep producing milk. Any less than three and you run the risk of the babies starving to death.

I have kept only one before and mine kept producing milk.
