actually my "wisdom" is very logical...
he wants to feed his snake not feed pet rats for eternity...
so he breeds until he feels he has enough feeders for 6 months....then he continues until is rat food is exhausted....
when each of his feeders reach appropriate size, he freezes them. He can freeze his breeders or turn them back into the pet shop for store credit (you can here if you ask nicely)
This should result in 7-8 months of food if done properly. He cleans the cage and stores it along with the bedding which he double bags.
Once his cage is bought, he can feed a pair of rats and their babies off one 50 lbs bag of mazuri for atleast 6 months $25 tops..a bag of $8 kiln dried pine will last that time also. So $33, some time and effort, some freezer bags and less than $10 in rats can feed his snake for 18 months or more...or he can breed and stop....and breed and stop....while feeding extra unneeded mouths instead of freezing them and saving cash, effort, and space for the extra year.
