Female rats will be able to reproduce and have babies, while male rats will be necessary for breeding. However, if you do not want to have babies, it is advisable to have neutered male rats or spayed female rats to prevent any unwanted pregnancies. Having a combination of male and female rats without neutering or spaying them can lead to uncontrolled breeding and an increase in the rat population.
