This is one of 6 litters born in the new building sat. night!!!

nice. good luck and keep posting i love your setup.

244 to go for this week alone!!

That is if I read your earlier thread correctly about 2000 rats and 1000 mice per week for the stores and using a 12/litter average. Wow, that's a lot of rats and mice

0.1 Wife (WC)
0.2 kids (CBB, selectively bred from good stock)

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
12.25 BRB
12.14 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

I stopped by my clients the other day to show them pictures and they where nagging me to hurry up. looking for pixy dust to make them grow faster, got any. Maybe I should where my turban next time!

2000/month. Counting 1 litter/month/female and using litter size of 10. To produce 2000 rats/week = 8000/month = 800 breeder females? WOW, that's an enormous undertaking. I'm sure with that volume you'll get a better statistical model, like 11.735 babies/month/female or whatever.

All I have done with this rat cave has been from the seeds planted in my mind from these forums and the help of Brian Gundy & Bob Applegate and others. Thank you all for your postings. Keep it up it helps everyone..
