So I have read hundreds of articles and DIY on breeding rats. I am fortunate enough to have a friend who breeds. He had excess so he loaned me two "transport racks" and 31 assorted rats. I am building a rack on friday and will have them set up and ready to go in a 20x27 tubs on a 1:4 ratio.

My question is I am trying to determine if I should just breed these for a little while and get the hang of it or let these grow to max size for my Large Redtail and get ASF to breed instead.

Where local in Socal can I source some breeder ASFs?


Thanks
