Non breeding rats????
Ok I seem to have a male and a female that don't seem to be handeling there buisness at all. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I tried this female with multiple males even my best breeder to no avail. And the male I have put in with him a few different proven females that have had previos litters. And he has not produced one litter to date. I am thinking of replacing these two with offspring from the best breeder I have. I held back 1.3 from 2 seperate mothers. To add to my breeding stock and am thinking about getting rid of them two. Any seuggestions??

Well I think they are both a bit too big to feed off to my bp's so I might sell them on cl as pets and make a lil money back for feed/bedding. LOL

Re: Non breeding rats????
Worn out breeders "normally" make crappy pets unless you treated them like pets when they were breeding.
My breeders are handled almost daily, never bite, and have no issues with me handling babies or them whenever I like.
Advertising them for food for larger snakes is a better bet for older breeding stock.
I gas them and freeze them and then when I get a group large enough I advertise them as jumbo frozen feeders, they always go fast

Well they are tame and I do treat my breeders as pets the big male is very calm and never bit and the female has also never bit but a bit shy but thats a good idea but IDK if I could kill them two myself. LOL

If at first you don't succeed..feed them off and try again.

The problem is Jyson I have nothing big enough to eat these two rats. I own all bp's and these are some huge specimens of rats. Kinda look like NY sewer rats in their size! LOL
