When my partner and I bought our original group of 14 rats it cost us $440 and every rat came with 5-7 generations of pairings so we knew pretty munch what each rat would produce.
The genetic we got included: All dumbo eared, some velveteen and some rec coats, black eyed Siamese that carried red eye recessives, Russian blue, American blue, black eyed whites, blue agouti, manx, dwarf and a few others.

Would I recommend paying $70 for the average breeder to make feeders, not at all.
I did what I did to make pets to sell to pay for the whole rat breeding operation and it did that and then some selling pet rats 2 for $15.
Ok that's what I thought were saying. That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to create pets along with feeders that way it'll pay for itself. I know for a fact that this lady has selectively bred her blue dumbos for many generations along with her other types of rats. She is a high quality breeder, not just some po-dunk rat breeder (like what I will be lol). She knows what she's doing and has been doing it for a long time.

So bottom line, would you recommend just breeding fancy rats as pets and then using them as feeders also? Or should I get a whole different line of feeders like from the pet store?

Thank you for your input,
