Thanks for the advise, thankfully it wasn't needed. This morning I checked on them and they were all cuddled under her.

Not sure why she was kicking them out yesterday, but whatever caused it seems to have fixed itself overnight. Plus I think I got another litter last night from another one of my girls. Not 100% sure yet, but I see her huddled over something pink/reddish that looks like babies. I'll leave them alone and check back on them when I get home from work!

I definitely am taken to breeding my own rats, to an extent at least. I don't see myself breeding enough to support my snakes. I still favor the convenience of F/T in a freezer Vs breeding my own feeders. But, then again who knows! As I have more BP's I may house more rats. I think in order for me to keep a larger colony I would house them away from the house or if I had a facility specific to my snakes and a room just for feeders.

The 2.3 have done great so far! I spent about $50.00 total for housing, food and rats about 6 weeks ago and have already gotten possibly 2 litters and a 3rd on the way! In 2-3 months they should pay for themselves!
