Lots of questions about rat breeding/rack

I should look into big massive bags of food. The food is costing me a lot.

This one place which is about a 35 minute drive, is selling big bags of aspen or flaw or even pine for $5 (local store sells for $14) so I'll be driving out and picking up a few bags.

Currently have 4 males, and 11 females. I try and mix the males up to avoid cross breeding. I'll keep the male in with the females for a few days, let him do his thing, then out he comes.

it's crazy my snakes are pounding back the rats so fast, I can barely keep up now lol. So I will have to start rotating the rats cycles to make sure it's always the same size rats being fed.

1 tub for a colony of asfs
2 tubs of 1.4
3 tubs for growing/feeding(one male, 1 female, 1 asf)
1 spare for cleaning/quarantine/emergency
