How long was your pet rat in labor?
Simple question. Any of you who have had rat litters before, how long did it take and was it harder for first time moms?

Rats usually aren't in labor very long, if it goes on for longer than two hours, there is probably something wrong. As long as the rat is old enough to breed (4 months) and she isn't particularly tiny, it shouldn't be hard on her if it is her first time.
I would not know the difference in birthing times or anything between a first time mom and one with litter before though, because I have never bred any of my rats more than once. Usually people only let their rats have 2 litters in their life because if they have more than 3, it can be bad for them.
