problem/questions
ok we have 7 snakes now so we decided to start breeding rats. ok so i built a rack bought a male from the reptile store( they only have males) and then bought 3 fancy rats from pet smart( they only have females). now my problem is they have been together for like 3 weks give or take a few days, and when i look at the females they dont look prego at all the male is huge and they seem to get along well. i kept them in an insulated office and it did not get to hot but just in case i moved them into a spare room in my house just to make them more comfortable. i may be just rushing things but i dont know what do yall think i should do?

Re: problem/questions
They can too old, your male since you only have one could be infertile etc.
The best is to get young females (small rats) and raise them up until they reach 250 grams and than pair them.
Having a second male as a back up might be a good idea as well. (same thing get a young animal)
