I would recommend you only get 1.2 or 1.3. Getting 2 males could pose an issue if you try and put them together. Also, the females will sometimes kill their young in the presense of another male.

Also, note that rats will quickly grow too big to feed to a ball easily...so plan accordingly (or do you plan to euthanize and freeze them?)
