What is a soupling?
A newborn rat: pink, bald and roughly soup shaped. Rat pregnancy runs 21 to 23 days, so a watch is three short weeks of extra food, extra quiet and careful eyes.

Mischief is not a vet. Straining with no soupling after 30 to 45 minutes, heavy bleeding, foul discharge or a cold, unresponsive mother all mean call a rat savvy vet today.
