After successfully breeding rats for about 6 months... we decided to take the plunge!!
Before :
After today:
Yesterday we had 6 females/2 males. After the great deal we found today we now have 20 female breeders and 6 male breeders. That's not including the 19 or 20 fuzzies-hoppers.
We take care of our rats EXTREMELY well here. (As with the snakes) I believe a healthy/happy rat makes a healthy/ happy snake
They are each given a bath once a week, fed high quality food, given healthy treats, and maintained at a proper temperature 24/7.
I can't tell you how many breeders (not saying everyone) I've seen that keep them outside in the barn/shack. All dirty, smelly, sweaty, and full of feces and urine.
Then they have their babies in the same tubs!! Yuck!!
Sorry ha, maybe I'm just to over cautious!
Thanks for reading!
