Everyone seems to be saying what I thought. It's a possibility, but don't count on it. I will not breed them until they are a min of 1500 grams and look good and feel right. If one is long and thin she will wait. Here is the kicker, this is not really my project, it's a project my daughter is working on with my help. I told her some girls may be ready next year, but we will have to wait and see. We have a male on hunger strike right now, he is about 850-900 grams and went off feed for 9 weeks. Got him to take a small rat two weeks ago and he is again refusing to eat. These hunger strikes got me freaked out 25 years ago when I had balls and they are doing it again. How long have guys had the hunger strikes last?
