Re: Not producing!
It's probably the rat itself, I've never heard of a feed making them infertile. Get a different breeder...

Re: Not producing!
How long are you leaving each male in with her? Why do you have the sides and back blacked out? What's her weight?

Also, how long has it been since she was bred? Remembering is takes about 22 days from inception to birth.

Re: Not producing!
Also are you using a 10 gallon for a breeding tank? If so, that's a pretty small area for two good sized adults to be in. I see you mentioned she's "large". Did you just buy her somewhere or have you had her since she was a weanling (trying to figure out if she's an older female that is too late in life to breed anymore).

I got her at petsclub nearby when she was a medium. They get their rodents from a breeder about 1hr 1/2 away. Yeah, I dont have a scale yet. sorry. but she is quite big(large size) now.

Trust me, the 8 Ball rodent breeding plan is MONEY!

Re: Not producing!
Not the food I use the same and have no issue.
Leaving them for about 3-5days.
Just leave them together until you see that the female is pregnant than remove the male.
I would also suggest you to get a scale, the optimal weight for a female to breed is 250 grams, if you breed her before that there is more chances for complications and small litter.
You might also want to house 1.2 together, rather than 1.1.
