So I was cleaning my girls cage yesterday, and I knew one of them was preggo, but after playing with both of them - it became very apparent that they are both pregnant. I'm super excited. I've had mouse babies before, but not rat babies. I can't wait.

On one hand I'm all happy - on the other hand I'm kinda sad cause I know that 95% of them are bound for food for the snakes, but I'm excited for the decrease in food costs

I have a wide enough range of sizes in my snakes that at any time during the rats growth period, someone can eat them. If I have any surplus, I have two places I can sell them to, so I don't end up with more than I can handle.

About 3 weeks! Too long! I guess this will prepare me for later on when I have to wait months for BP babies
