For instance, I have 5 babies left from last season that just aren't selling. I've reduced my prices heavily, advertise in the right places with mostly up to date ads, etc. yet they are still around. Female multi-gene morphs too, not normal males.
I've had them for 5-6 months at this point and if I didn't breed my own rats, I would have already spent more than their value keeping them fed on a 2 week feeding schedule. This is a reality I was prepared for and it's still frustrating. To not be prepared for it would have been very disheartening at this point.
