Hey guys,
I'm sure this has been answered but I thought I'd ask it definitively here. Is it cheaper to buy or breed your own rats?
I currently have my breeding pair and 12 that are about 6 weeks old from the most recent litter. Now that we are getting into the cold months they are eating almost a kilo of food a day between the 14 of them. So I'm starting to wonder if it is actually worth breeding them or not. I don't mind the time involved as I enjoy looking after them but the food bills seem like they might outweigh the cost of buying them frozen.
Anyway it would be good to hear what people think.
By the way I have an adult Jungle, adult Aiamond and a baby Bredli so my small set up is enough to cater for my needs.
Cheers
Daniel
