thank you for the response!!! well i have limited space to an extent. i personally only have 4 snakes, but i want to produce enough to keep the operation cost to not be on me, so i have found a few people who will buy from me weekly due to them not finding live around here... so other than start up, i will be breaking even..... ok so the inbreeding thing is what ever, cool. i am needing a solid 24 rats per week, so ill breed three each week, with a total of 36 female rats and two or three males. my idea is to have 12 female tubs with 3 in each (i would rather do two per tub but this is the slightly limited space coming into play). then my idea is to rotate two males to different tubs each week, leave the females in the their own tub, but move to a set of birthing tubs so that they are not fighting.... i had my current litter fight, but no babies killed, just two mommas what wanted the thirds babies sooo i guess its what ever...
thank you for the help, i am feeling like i took on too much lol
