    I was worried they’d have small litters because everything online said 250-300 grams, but the breeder said 200 grams was fine. Seems they’re doing just fine, and keeping weight on no problem.

    I’m thinking I’ll keep 4 rats from these litters back to grow to large adult size, and the rest will be grown as close to half/half small and medium. I’ll be able to keep more back for larges once I have all 4 breeding.

    Very excited to have a full freezer again. XD The initial set up cost was about what I’d spend on feeders, but after that, their food and bedding is covered for just about the next year for only ~$60-70. I might have to buy another bag of pellets before then, but that bedding isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

    Nothing better than the feeling you get with a secure & healthy food supply for your snake-family. Rats are good parents too.
