rat/breeding care sheet

[punky_jen]

I found this care sheet on rats, has everything including breeding etc...though it might be good for someone considering breeding them for feeder.

Breeding Rats

oooo been looking for one of these. I've already got one but it's really basic. Cheers

rat care/breeding =

feed
put male in with female
take male away
oooh look babies!

The woman that wrote that is where we get our rats from, she is a well respected breeder here in the uk and im sure she would be horrified to think that some people would use her work for feeders.

Idiot!! rats are the same weather they are pets or feeders, they should be treated the same! re think what you wrote!

[Beetle]

Nice. Thanks for your most generous input.

[punky_jen]

well if you make a post with such stupid content what would you expect?

To be fair though, breeding rats isn't exactly hard is it lol.. Just make sure you've got opposite sex rats & keep them alive.

In all honesty, if it was my caresheet i'd rather it was used by feeder breeders to do it 'properly', rather than them making half guessed attempts that could cause potential harm to both mother and babies.

If everybody followed her caresheet to breed their own feeder rats, surely the rat welfare situation in the country as a whole would actually be improved?

not all on here breed to feed im just a pet rat owner and im sure its better to have this good info on here so people who breed to feed get good quality care for there rats as them being healthier makes there snakes healthier.

She has ben breeding around 11 years too so all info is at high standards.
