    Two females not producing

    A bit back I picked up two very nice female rats. Both large in size and 6-7 months old. BIG girls. Neither of the girls have produced any offspring for me but have gone into several heat cycles and bred a few times? I haven't found anything unhealthy with them and they don't have a std either. Judging from their body they have bred before. My other girls are producing for me just fine. It's vague and I really would like to keep these two. They are the best temperments I've seen in a long time.

    Try a different male for a few weeks. You could also split up those females. I picked up two that grew up together and were having so much fun with each other they just weren't interested in the male.

    Seems like they are lost causes. They dont seem to cycle into hear often?

    Honestly, I'd get new girls. I bred rats for just over a year and if a girl didn't get pregnant within 2 heat cycles she was out.

    I was hoping one of the girls would breed for me. I cant imagine how well tempered the babies would be...oh well...:/
