Posted by: thunderpaws at Mon Aug 20 22:24:51 2012 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by thunderpaws ] I keep 5 males in a black rack. 1 male per tub. I put 3 females with 1 male than 5 days later I add 3 females to another male. 5 days later I add 3 females to another male. Than 5 days later I add 3 females to another male. I run this cycle and once the 3 females have spent 20 days with a male they come out and the females go individually into a birthing rack. The male that the 3 females came out of gets 5 days off and than the whole cycle begins again. This cycle allows me to have all sizes of rats at all times for feedings. I also try feeding on a 5 day cycle and it works really well. After feeding the snakes any rat above 50 grams gets euthanized and frozen or the rats are held back for future breeders. This cycle will feed a 30 to 40 snake collection very well. I find this is a little heavy with females but females die giving birth and they don't always give big litters and sometimes they don't even get pregnant. I have played with the numbers for years and I find this cycle to be really good as a minimum rat breeding system. [ Hide Replies ]
