Dwarf Rats Question...

More space and less babies doesn't make it worth it IMO. Solution? More snakes to eat the babies before they grow too large. ;)

Well not a solution if You leaving Ball pythons world and going Colubrids all the way...

Well looks like Fancy mice breeding Group it is....

I breed dwarves and was all excited to regurgitate my knowledge and experience... then Michelle beat me to it. I would say for food only for colubrids you are better off with mice - but they stink as you know. Another way to do it is to breed dwarf males to full sized het dwarf females. This will give you full sized litters with 50% dwarf, so basically you'd have ~6 non dwarf pups that would need to be fed or euthanized small and ~6 dwarf pups which will stay mouse sized for their first 3-4 months or so.

Yo! If you ever make it down to MD or VA then we've got plenty of good mice for you to start up with. :D

Does that mean you have extras now? :o I could start planning a trip. I'd love to get started with some show mice and stop breeding these pet store mice.
