Most people know I breed thousands of rats.
Ive been putting 1.6 in bins for years now n the males love it.
Thats my way of spoiling them haha

My males actually make really good dads. They even put up with the pups trying to nurse on them lol. I had a litter drop yesterday and the first time dad kept breaking up pieces of animal crackers and dropping them on the litter. It was super cute.

I have three colonies, my males stay with the females and the females usually take care of the other ones babies. I have two momas right now that had to be seperated due to them wanting the same corner and fighting non stop for at least three hours. So i'm going to put my problem moma in with one of the other colonies and see how she fairs. I even have one dumbo mom who takes all of the other moms babies and puts them in her pile, the other moms try to have a place of their own with their babies, but red( the dumbo) will have none of that. The others can nurse and clean and do all of the moma stuff as long as they don't move any babies, lol. It's fun to watch.
Also, My ratio is 1:3 in the dunbo colonie and 1: 4 and 1:5 in the other two with little issue.

Thanks for your input, Dlp.
I can't wait to have ratty babies! I have some waiting to do though, my rats are pretty young. I bought several more females recently. They are only 2-3 months old and they are bigger than my first 4. I'll put better pics up tomorrow and include the newbies.
