    ive bred in the past I averaged 15-22 babies per litter, gave the mothers at least 2 weeks off after they finished weaning, but I separated females once pregnant into their own smaller tub, easy to make sure all getting fed and keeping mothers and litters straight, good video :)

    FYI - Pine is very toxic to rats and literally makes breathing painful for them. Aspen would be a better wood choice. I understand these are feeders and aren't pets but the pressure on their respiratory system from the pine is very strong.

      @@Uuxaul Sure, sure. However, if you have a breeding program chances are you want to produce the best possible snakes. If you want to produce the best possible snakes you feed them the best quality food. In order to feed them the best quality, we have to make sure their food(the rats) are being taken care of just as well as the snakes. Quality produces quality my friends.

So I bought the Freedom Breeder rodent tubs, haven't had them chew through those yet, but I wanted to build another rack but I don't want to spend the $$ on the FB tubs again.

      Well the brand new pups don't eat the food, they get milk from the mom. Once they are weaned off of the mom and eating solid food, the bedding is think enough they can reach the food. Also when the moms eat the food it breaks down into small enough pieces that fall through the mesh. That helps too.

    And how many mice or rats to put in (male and female)?

    Very detailed video! I'm not in the snake business but I find these videos very interesting.
    I like the organization! I agree with you on the clear tubs getting more light which seems to me is more healthy for the snakes.
    The water bill is obsolete in my opinion. I work in irrigation and a typical (Residential) irrigation system runs about 12-15 gallons per minute. Depending on the time of year it could run from every day to 3-4 times a week for lets say 40 minutes. That's 520 gallons each cycle! If you fill your tubs every week totaling 15 gallons each time. That's a little over 800 gallons per year which is only two cycles of a sprinkler system. Probably too much information but thought I'd share.
    Well Done! I'm enjoying you channel!

    Enjoy watching and learning new ideas from you to incorporate them into my collection and hopefully turn my hobby into PT fun money soon. I have a question regarding any type of mite preventative you might do in your collection like one does with their reptiles throughout the year. I just started a colony and have wondered and thought I would ask you and /or anyone reading this comment :)
    Thanks again for the hard work on making these videos for us and the new logo is SUPER SWEET !!!

      Thanks! Big key is buy quality stock and then keep your own grow ups. I clean and disinfect the tubs every week. Also find "Hot Shots 2" in the insect section at Home Depot. Cut it up into 1/2" squares and put on top of the racks. That will attract and kill any little buggers

      Ya I use f-10 about every 6 days when I clean with a fresh bedding. I just wasn’t sure if I needed to do a preventative on them like my reptiles. Thanks again for the reply !

    Great info, Jason! Really appreciate it! I just started up rat breeding and built a couple racks very similar to your design.

    I like your rat rack! What are the dimensions of your tubs?
    Also, you said the retired nursing females aren't bred but nurse the babies when needed. Don't they have to have been pregnant to produce milk even as a surrogate?

    • @MorphMixologyReptiles
      @MorphMixologyReptiles  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No as long as they are still nursing, they still produce milk without getting pregnant. I'm guessing because they are communal breeders and share the workload

    • @Rebecca-fu5hg
      @Rebecca-fu5hg 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes they will need to have been bred at least once to get their milk production going but as long as they continue to nurse babies and have a quality food with high protein/fat they will continue to produce milk

    Thanks for posting. I'm using all frozen from rodent pro. But, seems like eventually breeding and going live with rats is the way to go.

    Any tips for quickly identifying males? Maybe a blue dot on their back or something? Sure would be easier then checking every rat until you find the male

    I have the manual skills of a chimp. Building a rat rack would result in me booking six paramedics and a helicopter before I even picked up the tools.

      Trust me. I'm in touch with my feminine, non-technical, utterly useless side of construction. "A child could assemble it", used to be in DIY manuals. I needed that child, but they were never provided.
