I'm thinking a 1.1 pair or a 1.2 pair, (as I only have 1 BP) and freezing the offspring when they reach the correct size. With only one BP I think it will work out if I only breed them a few times a year, enough to have a frozen supply that won't stay in the freezer too long, then putting the breeders back together to refresh the supply before it runs out.
So, if I'm not planning on breeding continuously, and having the male separated from the females most of the time, will he get lonely by himself? If that's the case should I just get a 2.2 pair? Or do males not get along together?
I also think rats would be fun pets to have, so these guys wouldn't just be food suppliers for me. Now, if they're not breeding as often, would I be able to get a longer lifespan/breeding career out of them?
How many enclosures would I need, could I get away with two or three of the Rubbermaid type bins? How is the smell with the well ventilated modified Rubbermaid type bins? I live at home and my pets have to stay in my room.
Lastly, is this even a good idea? Thanks for any feedback!
