I have been thinking about breeding my rats once more because I can't think of a life without them and I really only have 1 female I can breed because my other female only has 3 legs and its hard enough for her to get around. I'm not sure how old my breeding female is. Should I breed my rats again?
I'm not sure about my breeding female becasue I bought her from petsmart all ofthe others I saw them being born so I'm figuring my female is about a year in a half and the rest are only a year. And rats can live to 3 years old I once had a male that lived till he was 31/2 but he was a very sick rat that I had to feed with a dropper.
I tryed to get a pic of my other female that was born with three legs but for some reason she freaked out and I had to grab her tail ( which I hate to do ) just to get her back into the cage. I think she freaked out because one of my cats jumped up on my bed while she was up there.
They are so cute I tried so long to try adn find on the didn't have white on them but the only ones that I found that didn't have white where really bad inbreed so they had all sorts of diesease goignthrought them mainly an upper repatore (excuse spelling) infection. my room mates tried to start breeding but they had to drown one of there rats because it got this infection.
Yea my room mates lost there breeding female who was pregent to the diesease we all thought she was in labar but by the time an hour past we knew something was wrong and her nose started to bleed then after about an hour in a half she was dead, so when there other one got it they didn't want it to suffer but yet they didn't want it to bleed cause they wanted to bury it so the only thing we could think of was to drown it. Its buryed right outside my bedroom window and everytime I thing of it I want to cry because the rat that they had to kill was the sweets rat.
