Thanks!

With the babies, though, how many can you keep in the 20gals with the 4 adult rats and for how long? I'm just thinking that since it takes 4-5 weeks for each girl to breed/birth and breed again, that's 30 babies a month taking the full 4 weeks to wean. Do you have nurse mothers for that? If so, how many pinks do you put with each nurse mother?

I want to be as nice as possible with my breeders, so I think I'll be cycle breeding generally so I don't have a surplus, but... I'll also have a couple girls as just pets I think too... We'll see what happens.

Thanks for your help again!
