Hi everyone,
I'm just about to start breeding my own feeder rats, and am finding a lot of varied opinions on what works best! I've seen many people suggest keeping 2-3 females with a male, separate the females to their own enclosure when they give birth, leave them alone until the babies are weaned. I've also, though, seen people who keep their females and male together through it all with no issue.
Which is considered the best? Any other ideas? I'll have 6 females and three males here soon, with a four tub rack. I also have a few extra small glass enclosures as well as a large rubbermaid bin. Just trying to figure out what I should do before I get there!
Thanks!
