Rolling?

[user 2628]

So our new rescue had a surprise litter of two babies earlier today and now this evening she's started rolling around,
like a barrel roll and then arching her back and presenting her bum (akin to like a cat in heat)
What in the world is she doing?

We were worried thinking that maybe there was another baby stick in there but we've checked her belly and inside her birth canal and it all seems clear,
She's not straining or panting, and she stops to nibble her food and drink water.

Is this a normal thing??

Rats go into heat within 24 to 48 hours of giving birth ...
I don't know about the rolling but is it possible that she is in heat?

it doesnt sound good to me, can you get a video of it?

I don't have anything to film it with sadly, my digital camera doesn't have a film option,
Since I posted this she's stopped rolling it seems, now she's just sitting on her pups.

I think she may have just be "advertising" that she was available again if there happened to be any males (because we do have boys nearby),
She's not tilty or falling or doing anything else that I've read about.

It does sound like lordosis. (arching back for males)
