    I'm still thinking about breeding rats for my bp. I was wondering how many juvie rats I could keep in a 10 gallon tank. Thanks!

    I keep my females with litters in a ten gallon, per mama rat. They really do not do much except sleep and lay around and nurse the young while they have them.
    I would only keep one weaned rat per ten gallon, though. But until the pups are weaned, a ten will suffice.
    If you are just starting out, breeding one male and one female, you can leave them together for a time (I guess you;d have to if you wanted them to mate, lol.) I am not really experienced with actually mating rats, just raising the moms and babies. I cheated and got two already-preggo females from my local pet store.

    I tried breeding rats and mice before but man do they stink. I would rather just spend my $1.50 and get a feeder.
    Thanks,
