Your Colony Number Set Up???

Ok this is what I have set up and it works great!

I have 6 90qt tubs with 1.2 groups in 3 of them and the other three tubs are for grow outs.

If you get to many breeders in a small space, or more then one male, they will have a higher tendency to turn psycho and frag the whole friggen tub.

There is a weird smell that comes with those tubs that frag out.

I have a thread dedicated to how I set up my tubs, alot like Connies.

I have 3 tanks 1.3 2 tanks 1.5 and a 40g breeder tank with 1.7 and everything seems ok . But i weaned a few about 3 or 4 days ago and they are really red with not that much hair there not bald but dont have full coats i use harlan lab block but not sure why i have these that are still not full of hair !

I actually do not seperate my colony at all. once every month I add in new males and females from a friends colony, we trade out he has 7 going at the moment, that is to prevent over inbreeding. Other than that I have no grow out tub or anything else at them moment I have 15.45 in my rack total in 3 different tubs but that is only because I just fed today. I average 3 litters a week per a tub when they are full and running. I started my entire stock with only 3 females that were pregnant. From there I grew the babies up in the tub with mom, each mom had a different tub and were from dofferent colony, I then swapped all babies after they were weaned to a tub with a different female. The females would get pregnant by the only male I left in the group, after those babies would wean out I would move them do yet a different tub and let the colony in each grow. That worked perfect for me. Now like I said once a month I trade a friend for a new female for each tub and my groups are doing great.
