After a couple LONG months of getting my ratties set up the way I want them, I finally have a couple waddlers While I have had my breeding stock pretty well set for 3 months, I have not thrown males in with the females up until last month. I wanted to make sure everyone was on the best food possible and that the first round of girls were up to weight. I started this all (over again as I almost switched to f/t) with 5.30 just over weanlings so it is finally almost starting to pay off. Pretty soon it will be no more buying rodents, getting a bit pricey at almost $300 a month. Hopefully this week I will see the first of the little ones

Congrats...That is awesome and so much fun to watch them waddle around...so how do you have them setup? With 5 males and 30 females you could quickly have LOTS of babies.

Wow that's lots of females! I'm still short on females and resisting the urge to run to the pet store for some. Congrats on your first upcoming litters. I just popped in to check on the rats and have a new litter of future feeders this morning with her breeding buddy ready to pop at any moment too. I love the sound of newborn rat squeeks in the morning LOL.
