Yes there is food in the section up front on the frame. There is 1/2inch hardware cloth stapled to it. The rats are able to get food through that size hole. They reach up with their arms and hold it as they bite off chunks. The water is the tubing that is off to the left side. Its a gravity fed system and those lines connect to water nipples that are attached to the hail screen. Feel free to hit me up on my social platforms for further questions and any pics I can take for you! Link is in the description.
The ones on the breeder racks in the thumbnail are 28qt Sterlite. The maternity racks are 52 qt Hefty brand. Thicker plastic for the higher water volume
Very nice, I'm working on plans for a building. Trying to decide on the building size. Not sure if going from 12 wide to 14 wide or 16 wide gives me any advantage in usable space. Length will probably be 24 to 32'. I'm in Ohio so the winter gets cold and the summers get hot and humid. The building will be fully insulated and have exhaust fans for the summer and heat for the winter.
I suggest going 16' wide. Ours is 12' wide and it just isnt enough space in the middle for the table and everything else. I eventually want to get a 16x32 shed. Also another thing is dont just get an exhaust fan, have the louvers on the opposite end to suck fresh air through. Quicker air exchange so it doesnt have to run so long during the more extreme weather months. I still need to do that for my shed
Just wondering what age do you breed your females their first litter of babies and how many litters would you use a breeder female for before retiring at what age would you retire a breeeder female??....Thanx
This is really amazing, I'm from Asia and I'm impressed by how you have done your set ups. Is there a way to connect with you to learn more from you? I intend to start a small breeding facility in my country one day.

You are welcome! Yes you have to stay organized in order to keep up with everything. We appreciate you for tuning in and dont hesitate to ask questions. Thanks.
Yeah it has gotten crazy! I buy food directly from Kents feed, 20 bags at a time. Costs me about $500 shipped. You may find a few people in your area that you all could go in on an order with.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 I’m in small town ND. Almost be worth it to find a distributor and take a road trip lol- $86 a bag is the pits! I just increased my colony so need to figure something out. Take care!
Reptile Frenzy LLC no just air conditioning but the small ductless split units do. The vents mounts on the wall and it connects str8 to the condensing unit outside. It’s comes with a T-stat. It’s small and takes up no space at all. I’m an HVAC tech btw. But I’m seriously considering breeding. I love your vids.
Just imagine the rats are humans And u killing a mom cause she not produced. More then 5 babies lol kinda crasy if u think about it but hey snakes Gota eat
We put them down if they produce less than 8 babies. Usually by then they are at the end of their breeding age anyways. Whats crazy is having a whole shed full of moms producing 5 or so babies each when they can be producing 10-16 babies each... also we breed rats for snake food, i dont recall humans breeding humans for food. Lol
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 let’s goo 🤘🤘🤘 keep the videos coming fam iv only been doing it for 15 months now waiting on our 1st clutch also we need a banana pied male
Really impressed with your entire set up, it's so refreshing to see feeders being raised so well!
Thank you! We take pride in the rodents. We are animal lovers, just because they are feeders, dont mean we cant try to give the best quality of life.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 nice set up kindness shows ❤🐀🐀🐀
That’s a super organized operation👍 very nicely done!
I appreciate it sir! We are always looking at ways to improve.
Love the video, explaining everything you do and wut have, jus got my breeders, thank you, 👍🏾👍🏾
Appreciate you! 🤙
Great to see someone else's methods to produce rodents.
Thanks! We are always learning and trying to do better!
Nice video, very interesting 👍🏼
Thank you!
really nice setup bud . thats the way to do it. so they can still breath.
Thank you!
Atwoods is the bomb!
Hell yeah! Lol TSC also.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 omg yes. I spend way too much at tsc
What size is the shed?
It is a 12x16. Once I get moved I think I want to work on a 16x32
And are those the big concrete tubs or the small ones?
@@e.t.reptiles3279 Those are the smaller ones from Home Depot.
Great video
Thank you! 🤙
Thank you for sharing love to see other people's rat breeding
Not a problem! Thanks for watching!
Love this set up. Which size freedom breeder tubs are they for the maternity rack ?
Those are the FB-10 tubs. 45 of them costed me $402.16 back in 2019. That includes shipping.
What did you use to isolate the shed im in ga and looking into moving mine into a shed
We had it spray foam insulated and we have r30 in the ceiling.
Hi, what do you do with the waste from the rat tubs when cleaning? Is it good for anything or just bin it?
All of mine goes to the city dump. Justin Kobylka spreads his across his land.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 no worries thanks for that 👍
Is that food on the top of all the trays? How do the rats get it and the water?
Yes there is food in the section up front on the frame. There is 1/2inch hardware cloth stapled to it. The rats are able to get food through that size hole. They reach up with their arms and hold it as they bite off chunks. The water is the tubing that is off to the left side.

Not a problem at all! Thanks for watching and engaging!
Nice 12x 16 is looking good
Thank you!
Might be along shot but could I get the measurements you used on the 45 tub maternity rack
Sure! Those are the Freedom Breeder FB-10 tubs. (L) 21.5" x (W) 9.25" x (H) 3.5"
Oh I just re read and you want the whole rack. Message me on IG so I dont forget and I will measure stuff as soon as I can.
Looks great.
Thank you 🤙
I like the labels.
Appreciate you.
Very good video just trying to get into the rats
Thanks for the support! 🤙
What are the blue tubs
Those are cat litter pans.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 nice
Hey man, great video! Love the setup. Very well organized. What size are your black mixing tubs, they look like the smaller mixing tubs? Thanks!
Its the medium mixing tubs from Home Depot.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 OK, gotcha. Thanks 😊
Kool video, 👍🏾
Thank you 🤙
Your water 💦 tub what size are they?

how many rats do you produce weekly, with that setup?
About 200. We only breed about 15-20 females a week.

Just wondering what age do you breed your females their first litter of babies and how many litters would you use a breeder female for before retiring at what age would you retire a breeeder female??....Thanx
We breed a female around 200g. We just breed the females until they produce less than 8 babies then we put them down and they go into the freezer.
Can you tell me where your getting Mazuri that cheap? I'm using Kent rodent diet $20 bag from family, farm store in Michigan
I buy Mazuri for $23 a bag from a local feed store.

Very impressive!! I need something like this. Can you show the diagram for the monster rack?
Thank you! We dont have a diagram for the big rack. I just measure and cut lol.
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 I am not skilled enough to do that. My building skills need help.
@@alienmorphballs233 Lol. I understand that. This is about as far as my skill goes 😂

I've had that happen befor first litter 20 babies by the time he babies were almost weaned 20 more couldn't believe it or figure it out lol
Its insane! I believe it has happened 3 times now for us and damn 20 babies?! Our biggest litter has only been 18.
Hey how many times will a female breed before it's time to retire her?
I couldnt tell you. We dont keep track of that. They retire when they start looking old...
@@reptilefrenzyllc3721 Not a problem thank you.
Awesome room! I also feed 6f but can’t buy local so I have to get it shipped - last week paid $35 for a bag and shipping was $42!! Ughhh

Or just get an inside unit in which u just hook the duct line to your window
Im out of space on the inside lol and do they create heat?
Reptile Frenzy LLC no just air conditioning but the small ductless split units do. The vents mounts on the wall and it connects str8 to the condensing unit outside. It’s comes with a T-stat. It’s small and takes up no space at all. I’m an HVAC tech btw. But I’m seriously considering breeding. I love your vids.
@@shabundy4685 whats the cost comparison to a window unit? I have to replace my window unit every 2-3 years because of dust and ammonia in the shed
Reptile Frenzy LLC the small DIY units are no more than $800. Go to HVAC Direct website. U will see it
Nice
Appreciate it!
fall is the best time to buy the ac if you wait until spring you will pay.
Nice. Never knew that. Thanks!
Is it possible to make money breeding and raising mice or rats?
W.O.W.
how many snakes do you feed with this setup?
We are only at about 70% capacity right now and can feed 130 snakes and sell extra to pay for food, bedding, ect.
Ok Im currently building a 16 x 12 shed for my rats. I need to feed 280 snakes. Do you think Im gonna need a bigger building?
@@sinfulserpentsexotics8618 Ours is a 12x16.
@@sinfulserpentsexotics8618 i really cant calculate what you need as far as size of shed. Your racks are different, your set up will be different.
Where are your males?
In breeding with females... we only have like 12 males at a time and they are breeding.
Just imagine the rats are humans And u killing a mom cause she not produced. More then 5 babies lol kinda crasy if u think about it but hey snakes Gota eat
