Rat issues in Burlington

Baby rats have a gestation period of 21 days in Burlington. During this time, female rats build nests and line them with fur or other soft materials they can find. They also collect food near their nest to ensure that they have enough sustenance for themselves and their young once the babies arrive. The mother must continue to provide them with food and keep their nest safe until they are old enough to leave the nest, which typically happens after three weeks. After leaving the nest, baby rats become independent and begin exploring their environment. They learn how to find food on their own and, in time, start creating new nests of their own. Baby rats reach sexual maturity at about six weeks of age and can then mate and produce offspring of their own. Understanding the gestation period of baby rats is important for rodent control efforts as well as for general knowledge about these creatures.

In addition to understanding their gestation period, it is also important to be aware that female rats often have multiple litters throughout a single year producing over 60 offspring. Burlington Pest Control experts can fully eliminate and prevent further infestations.
