Question
I am 30 weeks pregnant, and we have a pet rat.  Is there a problem with the feces or urine and my unborn child?  What are the risks associated with rats and human pregnancy?

Answer
Hello,
I am not an expert in this field, but as far as I've heard, there shouldn't be any abnormal risks with an unborn child. If you would like more information on that, I would suggest using Google or www.RatsAhoy.com, which is an EXCELLANT forum. They will know a bit more on this subject.
Good luck,
Ashley
