I have been using Natal Multimammate Rats as feeders for my BP's for about 12 months, and find that they are taken more readily by W/c's than any other rodent. We started off with just one pair and are now over-run with them, even after feeding about twenty rats per week. Once they start breeding they don't stop, and are producing - on avereage - 12 young every three weeks.
