Frustrating as it may be, we cannot tell from a picture whether or not your rat is pregnant. I'm so sorry we cannot help you with this question over the internet. A hands on physical exam would be needed, and even at that unless the are very far along in pregnancy an exam alone may not answer the question, a sonogram may be needed. For what its worth, rats are not pregnant very long, so it will only take a few weeks to have that question answered with certainty! Rats are pregnant for about 21-23 days. Here is some information you may find useful. https://www.petcoach.co/article/rat-reproduction-mating-gestation-birthing-and-growth/ I hope that helps. Thanks for asking Petcoach (now Boop).
