Pregnancy and pet rats. Major panic.

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has had pet rats while they were pregnant? I've had them for years but now I'm really worried because on the net it says they can sometimes pass the lmcv infection on to unborn babies which can give them birth defects. I never knew about this before becoming pregnant. Hope someone can help to put my mind at ease or has more info, thank you so much.

Most animals are theoretically a risk!!
Good hand-wash after handling them and you will be fine. We have reptiles and never had any issues.

Thank you for your reply, my partner now cleans them out but I was cleaning them for the first month of pregnancy as I didn't know I was pregnant. I'm in such a panic that I've already done damage.
