Possibly 6 pregnant rats

I was horrified to find out that one of my brother's male rats was in with my females today. My 6 female rats are housed next too my brothers 5 male rats and the switch could have happened last night when my brother was feeding them or it could have happened today when my dad was handling them. I would not be so bad if they were unrelated but they are a mother and her 10 babies. The average number of babies from the mom and her 2 sisters was 11 so I could potentially wind up with over 60 babies

With mice, I've only ever had one male with multiple females be able to plug 3, and usually only 2 of the 3 actually take. So if it was only one night, you probably only have a chance of 0-3 possible ones.

I really hope that none of them are pregnant. That is a relief that there should only be a couple possible ones.
