Is this a record???????????????

Had a call from a mate today, he tells me that he has broken his record for the number of baby rats from 1 litter.
His previous record was 23.

The litter yesterday was 24..............can anyone come close to that???

I've told him that he has to give up feeding them steroids........

RE: Re: RE: Is this a record???????????????

The most I have had was 22, average around 14-16. A friend who works at the Sydney eye hospital, where they breed rats, said the biggest litter they had ever had was 32 from a pair of supers. That's a lot of babies.......LOL
