I know this site is for turtles but i couldnt resist sharing my new hobby. Rat Breeding (mainly for snake food but the big ones are pets and some of the babies)

Well here are all my rats! Ill start out with some Babies.

These are Babies from my Hairless Rat Devin. Hairless Female to a Haired Male. Not sure if i got any hairless but dont think so.

Here is there Set Up. Two thirty Gal tanks with screen lids. They are only in these when they have babys and after they are ready to be put back they go into my main tank.

This is my Holding Cage when I am waiting for Litters. It may seem like All I do is breed and abuse my lil four legged family members but I ashore you they enjoy taking care of there babys and they alwasy get breaks in between and are givin all sorts of treats and veggies and played with allll the time. They are great! ^^

In that pic you can see a mommy to be named Abby, iv had her for a while now and she is one of the most friendly rats I have. LOVES to roam all over and come to ya right when ya walk to the tank/cage.

Here is another soon to be mommy named Pirate, she is sorta mean. Just the other day she bit me GOOD lol..broke the skin and was bleeding ALLLL over. Still love her tho!

Here is a Small side project I have going on. these are my (ASF) African Soft Fur Rats. They are not really pets as they bite hard core and are really territorial but they are the cutest little things haha and they are super soft...they are in a ten gal. Three Large Females with some Babys.

Okay this is my Main Tank. this is where the majority of my rats go just to play and live life with all the other rats while they are not in a holding tank or taking care of babys. Its a 60 gal long with a heavy screen lid and lots of hiding spots. Its funny as hell watching the younger rats run across the whole tank playing.

This is my Big Male...His name is Rusty HAHA! he is super nice and just loves to lay around and do nothing....90% of the time I never EVER see him because he is chilling in a box layin on his back. He dont even run in the wheel cuz hes so fat! haha

well, thats all the pictures I have at the moment. Will try to keep updates on my growing baby's and what colors I get!

I was told those and hamster's are seasonal and can be a pain in the butt to breed...I get at least 2 or 3 rat litters a month or so right now. gonna let some of them babys get big and keep most the girls for future breeders. its fun watchin them grow.
