Hi all I have been breeding my own rats for a few months now and has several successful liters grow of age. But sometimes the babies are killed and eaten. can someone explain why or how to prevent this? I have 4 colonies of females with 4 to 6 females per tub, and they all share one male (hes pretty busy).

Any ideas?

thanks,
Ed
