A ball and a carpet

I mean, raising one litter is really simple, as long as you separate the sexes things won't get out of hand.

I'm gonna go price them at the pet store today an see what wood I have laying around for a fast build up an give it a try in next couple weeks. I think if I get a litter a month ill be able to grow four of them out to cp size and feed the rest off to my bp and freezing the rest to give to friends. my main goal is being able to provide one extralarge rat a week to my carpet

sounds good! good luck

Wow so lame I've called every pet store in my area and none of them sell female rats😡 one guy kept trying to offer me hamsters when I clearly state rats so I gave up on him. Looks like a road block has formed

Find a reptile store that sells live feeders. They will most likely have some females. If you are hoping to not have to buy feeders again, then you'll need a bigger setup than just 1 female. Idk exact numbers. If you are just trying to lower your feeder bill a little bit then I guess what ever setup you do would work.

Ya I'm thinking of doing a 1:2 so I can switch up which female is breeding every month. But for some reason around my town no one sells female rats only males, there's a store an hr north by my parents that will sell me two females so gonna probably take a trip up there. It's more of a way to constantly have a large rat for my carpet and ill freeze off bp sized rats to use for my one I have now. Once my bp collection grows ill add a few more rats but for now I'm thinking three will give me a happy ratio of what's needed and what I can provide for, cuz way I see it their pets until their feeders so gotta keep them happy
