Keeping 1.2 together question.

[nchapa]

For those of you that keep 1.2 or more rats together, do you let the females get pregnant immediately after giving birth? If not how do you prevent that?

I keep 1.3 per tub and don't remove pregnant females. I need my rats producing as much as possible. After some trial and error, this is my preferred method & get the most bang for my buck.

I separate because I get fatter and healthier rat babies that way, but if I only had a 1.2 group I'd probably just let them stay together.

I keep 1.2 together.

I have some awesome male rats. They help clean the babies and keep them warm. One of my males, Scabby, lets them pile all over him and chew on his ears.

I keep 1.3 and separate when females get pregnant. I get healthier and fatter babies, this is base on my experience and what I prefer.

I do 1.2 up to 1.6 and never take females out. Since most my females drop 12-22 pinks consistently from selective breeding.

Doing this keeps my freezer stocked and snakes fat.
