Honastly not really. Once you figure out how much it costs you to raise those lil hatchling females to adults it is cheaper to just buy several adult females when the time comes. I know you can buy baby females for around $35 each but it is going to take you aproximately three years to get the breedable. I purchased six adult proven breeders all over 2,000 grams for $150 each. IF you add up the amount of rats and time it just isnt financially sound to buy a bunch of hatchlings for that purpose in my opinion. Todd
