Breeding Rats on a small scale - Questions

[ReptilesK2]

I currently I think head count was 54 Breeders. My tubs consist of 1.3 up to 1.6. I get Insnane sized litters as some here will know the Record set.

I clean every 3 days as having 1.3 and 1.6 in tubs along with 50+ fuzzies gets nasty quick. The poop isnt hte problem, its the constant pissing and the babies peeing adds to it.

Also dont forget about a grow out tub. Once my rats are 4 weeks old they go in a tub together till their 50-75g then gassed. With my 54 breeders im gassing close to 100 smalls a month while feeding off 20 live a month.

Thanks for all the extra help/tips!

I'm picking the rats up today, they are only around 6 weeks old. They were $3 each and I got 1 male and 4 females. Does that price sound okay?

How old do they have to be until I can safely start breeding them?
I'm in no rush as I have 100+ frozen thawed rats still in the freezer.

Keeping them in a tub with a water bottle + some pet store food until I can order the online rodent food. Also should I seperate the male for now?
