Pet rat breeding can be easy for some and a little more complicated for others. Just like humans, some pet rats do not get along that easy, while others do so spontaneously. How your pet rats will breed will ultimately depend on their individual personalities.
Some pet rats don't need any preparation before mating. They are able to breed anytime, anywhere, under any circumstances.
While some rats may handle things all on their own, others may need some help. The help required is simply setting up the right setting for the process to take place. This means a moderate-sized cage, some soft bedding, and a nice flat surface. Be sure not to put the male and female into too large of a cage for mating. This will possible result in the female trying to run away from the male too much, requiring him to chase her all over the place before being able to successfully mate.
It is up to the breeder to decide how long to leave the male and female rats together during this mating process. Some owners like to leave the rats together well before the female is in heat up until a while after you find that she is actually pregnant. Other owners think this is a bad idea and remove the male once he has finishing impregnating the female.
Every four to five days, your female rat will be susceptible to impregnation. This is referred to as her being in heat. While in heat, you may notice that your doe is a bit more rambunctious and even chases down the male rat a bit, encouraging the mating process. Another sign that your female dumbo rat might be pregnant is that she runs around in quick little scampers.
Also, a female rat in heat has the tendency to arch her back when she comes into contact with the male. Some of them also speed off when touched. Some females who are active will even jump around in the cage.
It is best to keep an eye on the pair in order to minimize any injuries that can occur in pairs that do not get along well. Common causes of injuries in pet rats while breeding would be incompatibility, an unreceptive male being attacked by an overly aggressive female, an unreceptive female being attacked by an aggressive male, a "shy" rat attacking back out of fear of the aggressive, experienced one, or simply, rough mating.
Rat copulation will depend on how long the female remains in heat. Some can be done in 2 hours, while others can stretch up to the entire day. The act of copulation itself is quick. It is the number of times copulation happens that contributes to the duration. Some pet rats have been said to reach climax 100 times in a single duration.
