which male to keep?

[littleindiangirl]

i cant buy anymore critters as the girlfriend has cut me off (just bought a purebred yellow lab pup on the weekend) so i have to use what i have now.

if i had it my way id get rid of the mice and only keep rats but shes been attached to the mice because the original 2 are so friendly. so i figure id let them have their babies and feed off any new males when they are big enough for my snake.

the rats id actually like to breed though so i actually care what happens with them.

would an 8-9 week old male breed 2 full grown females? they are about twice his size.

In my experience no. I have tried it before, and the female's completely dominated the male rat. Give him a few more weeks when he as at least the same size as the females.

Please, remove those females that are only 8 weeks though.
