    Their also kept at 82f As well and breed like crazy.

    I do once a month or so sell my extra off to slim it out as it does get crowed. Doing this setup, i havent ordered mice or bought any in 3 years.

    Also Those are mice not rats

    I thought any higher than 80F was too high for mice?

    I will have to try breeding mice again. I just couldn't do it. Do you keep yours on a STRICT day and night cycle?

    Had a derp moment when I posted that. xD This is in the rats area so I thought they were rats without looking real hard.

    Mice breed when kept in consistent temps. My temps stay 80-82 all year in room and they do fine.

    Most try to keep a 75 and they do just as good. Consistency in temps is the key when breeding any rodents.
