Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Hi i was wondering if there is any litter size difference between the albino(lab) rat and the fancy rat?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Lab rats typically have larger litters.
But.. white rats are boring.. and my fancy rats typically have between 10-15 babies every month. Isn't that enough?

I plan on keeping about 4.14 to 3.10 rats i will be breeding them for the local and some people away from me. what is the best way to cycle them?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
sorry i meant 3.14 or 2.10
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Cycle? Just keep one male with however many females all the time.
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
ok how many females can i keep with one male in a 20 gallon long? a 40 gallon breeder? and a 10 gallon tank?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Um.. I don't use tanks. I wouldn't use a 10 other than for raising weanlings.
A 20.. probably a pair, maybe a trio.
A 40.. 1.4 maybe 1.5.
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
if you dont use tanks then what do you use?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Lab style rodent cages. They are very convenient. I got mine here: http://www.bigappleherp.com/bigapple...roducts/110100
It's better to use a wire cage than a tank since a tank doesn't offer much ventilation.
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
what size of those cages do you use?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
how many raats do you keep in one of those cages?
Re: Albino(lab) rats VS Fancy Rats
Right now I have a pair in the first one, an adult pair with 4 juvies in the second, 4 juvies in the third, and another adult pair in the fourth.
You could keep a trio or maybe more in one of those. Just be sure to keep them clean.
