Maybe I need to foster these babies? HELP!

[mues155]

Once weaned they cannot be mixed by sex? they have to be in their own grow out tubs according to sex? Is that because the males can impregnate the females but since they are so young it can kill them or something? HELP! As of now the male and female weaners are all in the same tub.. It sound like I need to make another tub set up then...

Once again, thank for all the advice guys. Being new to breeding rats I need all the help i can get.

Your probably ok to mix sexes in tubs until the testicles drop in the males which is probably give or take 2 months...It is POSSIBLE for does to be bred well under 4 months old. Which is horribly dangerous for a doe. Just because they CAN breed doesnt mean they SHOULD.
I wouldnt breed a doe until AT LEAST 6 months old. They need time for their pelic bones to fuse and support burthing kittens.
If your rats are weaned and can be properly sexed I would seperate them. They will get plenty of comfort with their same sex siblings. But thats just my opinion!
