    Super male!

    How many females can these guys breed? I just picked up 10 new female breeders and put them along with 3 I was waiting on and 1 male in a stock tank, I swear, that male was humping everyone of the girls atleast 1 time each. How many females can one male take on within a matter of 10 minutes? I left him in there for no more than 10 minutes and he had humped all of them. Wish me luck on a bunch of babies from these girls!!!

    Re: Super male!

    So you have 10 separate tanks to put them in? I wouldn't put him with more than 5 of so, or you might risk potency issues and females won't be getting pregnant.

    Are these mice, rats?

    Rats. I keep 3 females per tub when they give birth. I don't believe its neccesary to seperate them all into seperate tanks.

    Re: Super male!

    If they are first time mothers, I would separate them. Communal birthing just leads to stressed out rats, stealing of babies, babies getting injured/eaten, and one female pushing the others away and nursing 30 babies by herself. It's just not healthy.

    The females share their duty in the colony. Since I started doing 3 females per tub, I have had an almost 100% success rate with babies growing up til fed off or weaned.
    I am breeding them for food, not pets. Lets not let what you believe they should be housed like get in the way here.

    Hun... This is not just what "I" believe. MANY people on this forum do the same thing I mentioned with their rat colonies and are highly successful. You do what you want, no one is going to stop you.

    Good luck with that!

    Re: Super male!

    Its just you were making it sound like I would need 10 seperate tanks for my breeders, I was simply stating that there is more than 1 correct way to do it

    I read the topic title "super male" and was going to say that I did not think male was a co-dominate trait.
