    Re: Rat breeding questions

    I breed mice. I just have them (running wild) in a large tub. Was breeding rats but cost too much in the long run for me in food and bedding.

    Re: Rat breeding questions

    There are many threads about this in the feeder section but simply put you will need.

    A rack (breeding tubs and grow out tubs), watering system, food (not the pet store type of food), pine bedding (shavings or both pellets and shavings), small rats that you will raise up to 250 grams (do not buy adults or proven breeders). You will need 1 female rat per snake.

    Rotation takes about 8 Weeks from breeding to weaning

    Gestation is 21 days

    Average litter 6 to 12
