in august i could purchase jumbo mice at 1.19 each in october they raised the price on mice to 2.25 each. at this time i started to breed mice because i only have five snakes for now and it didnt matter how big the babies got they could alwase be feed off.
at that point i whish i would have started with rats mice are a pain compared to my rats that i had as a kid to breed. if they got scared for 2 seconds they wold kill the entire litter in 5 months i never had one extera mouse. i had 4 breeder tanks with 1.3 in each
i am wondering how many 10 gallon tanks i would need to have to properly house 2.12 rats breeding one every 7 days placing the female by herself to have her babies. i wont need any grow up tanks for the babies because i will be co2 ing them for a rainy day if i have a bad litter week and selling whatever is left to one of my coworkers for her ball pythons because they eat FT only.
cant wait till my first litter sometime between the 21-26th
sorry for the long post just excited and had to tell someone my girlfriend thinks i am stupid for getting 14 rats
