I am going to be getting a pair of BP from Mark Kennedy soon. I have been lurking on here for a little while reading up on breeding my own food, but I couldn't find anything on recommended colony sizes. The pair I am looking at is about 3 months old and feeding on medium mice right now. Can I start breeding rats now and maybe change them over to to small rats? Also, about what size colony will I need to support my pair?
Thanks!
