Hey guys, I've got a question I can't seem to find an answer for.

I'm starting a rat colony for feeders/pets. I want to start slow and small as it is just as much a hobby as the BPs and I only have 2 BP's currently.

I am seeing a fancy rat breeder to buy some very healthy, high quality rats. I am wanting to start with just a 1.1 and then hold back the best male and best 2 females from the litter to start another colony, as well as leave one of the females from the litter in the tub to make that first colony a 1.2 as well.

Is there anything wrong with this logic? Is this a bad route to take?
