Im new to rat breeding and been reading some here and there. I currently have soft furs that i breed which there easy to breed btw. Just leave the male and females in and let them do there thing. But domestic rats seem different from what ive been reading. To get started, my idea is a 1.3 ratio. Now should i keep all 4 together till they are pregnant and then remove the male? Or do i remove each female into there own containers till birth? Or can all 4 stay together all the time? Ive heard rats are very social animals and like having a companion which makes me think that pulling the male and leaving him alone would be a bad idea. Ive heard mixed answers which is why im asking.
