    Ouch that's rough. Hopefully you'll have a better go at it this time!

    Just a suggestion. Next time you go to the pet store to get rats buy a lot of extra. Then feed off the rest you don't need to make a 1:4 colony.

    Just give it a little more time. It will happen soon enough.
    Stress can make rats sterile, so it could just be that they were just settling in.

    It's weird because I hear her yip sometimes, they're in a isolated room so I go to check and he has her on her back like she's being submissive.

    I've come to the conclusion that she doesn't like him or he doesn't know what he's doing. I'll give it another 2 weeks with him then I'm going to pick up some more at the upcoming show so I can switch him out.

    No more killer rats though...

    When you stop by Jim's, see if he has any spare females. If he doesn't, I have some younger girls that I could spare for you. Jim can call or text me. They would need some time to grow up before they could breed though. I won't be home til after 8:30 tonight though.

    A little update she was pregnant and poped out 13 on her very first litter a lil over a week ago!!

    Here is a pic of the first 3 that I fed off, I felt really crappy doing it to. My first pups to be born then I gotta feed em off like that, didnt think I would get attached to breeding and raising rats.
