Number one question is, How long should I wait in between litters to reintroduce the male? I don't want to stress the female rats out by breeding them too fast. I want happy rats.
I wait 4-5 weeks to wean and 3-4 weeks after weaning for mom to rest
How many Mediums, Small, and weaned can a single rat produce in a month?
I produce 10-20 rats a month it take 5-8 weeks to grow out to smalls
How do people kill them in this business? I'm guessing Co2? or is there a better way of killing them?
CO2 is in my opnion the best way to euthanize rats in quanity
Also, how do you Sex a rat? Is it self explanatory?
