The biggest litter I had was 23 babies, of course with that many they tend to be smaller than average pinks.

The first few litters are always exciting, but when you get a colony, and the pinks just explode all at once, you have your hands full.

Thanks Trey! Yeah, I know the excitement will wear off. This is going to be part of a family business, so there should be a payoff for all the work. I can't wait till we are getting multiple litters a week! And hopefully the demand will be close to the amount produced! We have an huge area nearby that has repeatedly been on craigslist begging for different size rats! Which was part of my reason for getting into this. Looking forward to having my hands full...
