breeding rats..

babystolemydingo Mar 28, 2007 02:21 PM

I currently have 2 adult BP's and a 206 gram BP on the way. How many females should I have to keep them well stocked-assuming they eat once a week?

thanks so much!

i would get 4 or 5 females and what ever you have left over sell them to your local pet store. hope this helps.

keep 1 male and 3 females ... if i were you i would build a "rack" type setup .. dont use an aquarium ..well you could but its so easy to have a food hopper on top and a water bottle on top of a "rack" its easy to clean as well...

but 1 male to 3 females should give you PLENTY for 3 snakes...

If your finding you have too many rats just give them to your friends with reptiles... if you dont have reptile friends, make some
