Hades and Aphrodite are approx 8 weeks, Athena is approx 6 weeks. Had rats before so know general husbandry bits and used to breed G/Pigs when I was younger but any advice would be appreciated.

i would keep them separate until they are at least a year so they dont breed to early.

ahh differant...........
I'm not knocking the advice cos the breeding side of rats I'm not 100% about but I was told not to breed for the first time litters from females past 9mths, ie if she hasn't bred by 9mths dont. But I was told this by a shop and we ALL know how accurate shop staff can be.........

i breed rats by mistake. well I didnt breed them.
I had 1 Rat "Bella" and thought she was lonely so bought her 2 more rat frends, which were sisters "Misty" nd "Fleck" didnt work out so had 2 seperate them, and about 4 weeks after getting them (about 4weeks) she gave birth to a load of babys! I had to keep them all of cousre :wink:

i would say about 9 months would be ok, but i dont think i would breed them if they are 2 young
