Thanks for the quick response, but I have a question.
I have read that the new mother rats will go into heat within 72 hours after giving birth, do you try to utilize this window, or do you normally give your breeders a break after each litter?
I had planned on just leaving the colony intact, hoping that the male would get to business quickly to keep production high for at least a little while, until i can raise more breeders, but seperating the new moms will make that a little more difficult. What about moving the male with the new mom for a few days, would that be a problem?? Thanks again for your answer, i do appreciate it!
