I have a colony I started about 2 months ago, 1.6 with 10 hoppers in there too. All first time breeders. The adult females are all pregnant now. I came home tonight to find the remains of several half eaten babies and 2 live pinks.
They are all housed in a jumbo kitty litter pan (22x16) in a breeding rack, I usually breed hooded rats in this size tub so I figured It wasn't over populated. They are kept on a good amount of aspen, with food (mazuri 6f) and water available at all times. I don't have any cage furniture.
Any recommendations to my husbandry would be appreciated.
