Would it be ok to not do harem breeding? I think the way I figured this to was to have 9 females and 3 males. Each male is in his own tub, then there are 3 maternity tubs and a vacation tub. 3 females to each male, 1 female getting bred per week, that way we have a litter coming in every week and have a constant supply rather than all the females breeding at once and having a ton of babies all at once.

As for the corn and king, they do eat f/t and I think what my fiance and I decided to was, any extra from each litter would be euthanized and frozen for their meals. The corn is on small mice and the king should be upgrading to hoppers by winter.
