okay everybody before i post little bit of backgroud info. im new here and am in the planning stages of getting back into reptiles FULL FORCE lol. long story short i lost my job about a year ago and ended up having to sell off my snakes...i know but its what i had to do. anyway everything is going great now and im getting back into it with some new species and all that.
k now to my question, i plan on having a large collection so i already know im going to breed my own rats. now out of the Van Ness cat pan sizes what do you guys thing is the best size for a birthing rack and a breeder rack. i plan on having a breeder rack of 1.3 or 1.4 probably a twenty to thrity tub rack because im breeding for myself some friends and whoever else wants to buy when im overcrowded. i appreciate ANY input on this or rack plans or any advice all you rodent breeders out there want to give. another ? is, is there anywhere that i could go buy adult rats to start off my breeding when im ready? i live in KS? i dunno. snakes CERTINLY arent new to me but these furry things are. thanks in advance everybody
