Should I just give up?

[suzuki4life]

I was about to make the same exact post as the author of this one did. Ive been breeding rats for a while, and these last 8-10 litters is just making me want to pull my hair out. My temps range between 78-84, I feed my rats Dog Food as well (23% Protein), and when a female gives birth, I use scrambled eggs to help with their protein intake. I also use fresh fruits/veggies. I have mine housed in a rat rack made from Mason Tubs bought from Home Depot, and have plumbing system vice water bottles. I have no idea what Im doing wrong, but its getting really annoying.

Any advice? Anyone? Please help me. =(

sounds like you are over loading them with fat and protein for starters
