 HELP!!!

I am new to breeding rats, as many of you know, my rat gave birth yesterday. Heres the problem, she hasn’t been with the babies for awhile today id say close to an hour. I kmnow they can go about 24 hours without mommas milk, but i am a little scared, is this normal for a female that bred for the first time? Please help.

 HELP!!!

It really depends on the mom... generally the rats I bred were on the babies 24/7 cept to eat or drink the first few days but as long as the babies are healthy and have milk bands (I think you can still see them) I wouldnt worry... otherwise I dont know what to tell you sorry
