My bps are in my room and the rats are in my bathroom. Also one of the females loves to chew threw tubs and I've had to replace them a couple of times. I've thought about building a rack to add some more, but I'm thinking about making the newest litter my last one. Whatever you decide to do good luck, it is pretty cool and the baby rats are super cute.
Thats the first time i heard rodent breeding to be a lot of work.

Breeding rodents is fairly easy once they are in proper setup. Costs me $50 a month in food and bedding to breed 400+ mice a month.

Also takes the right food for proper production. If oyu feed the pet store garbage you get crappy results.
