Personally l don't believe it pays the average person to breed rats and mice as apart from the satisfaction l don't believe you can compete with some prices for example l sell adult mice for $1.50 each that are 9-10 weeks old thats just over 2 cents a day :jumbo rats [350+grams] for $7.00 each [in packs of five] that are 16 weeks old thats 7 cents per day for growing-up take into account your setup costs and ongoing feed plus the slowdown in breeding in summer because of the heat and l believe you will find it hard to justify unless you have a passion for it.....solar 17 [Baden]
have to agree with you baden, if i had too i would start breeding, but if you find a good supplier i just can't see the sense in rodent breeding - pay a little extra for your supplier, bulk buy and save the hastles. Much rather spend my time cleaning my snakes and providing them with some extra attention.
how many factor in the cost of their time, additional chest freezers and the power they use, co2 for culling?
