I have bred my own feeders off and on for a while now but I'm just starting to get back into it. I have 11 snakes to feed and currently I have a 1.2 for rats and a 1.2 for mice. I also have 6 female mice that need a male in a few weeks (2 mothers and 4 daughters. Daughters are not old enough yet). I also have another female rat that is not old enough yet to breed and a male rat that was bred by my sister that will be coming home in a week or two. I plan on increasing production a lot since these few breeders are NOT going to satisfy the demand for feeders in this house. I need to make some new bins and then I can fill them. I use wood pellet bedding and aspen shavings as bedding. I feed Mazuri 6F and fresh foods.
