rat breeding

Rat breeding involves intentionally pairing male and female rats to produce offspring, often for research, pets, or competitions. Breeders select healthy rats with desirable traits, monitor the female’s reproductive cycle, and ensure proper mating conditions. After mating, females typically carry pregnancies lasting about 21-23 days. Proper care includes providing clean environments, balanced diets, and regular health checks for pregnant and nursing females. Responsible breeding aims to maintain healthy populations, minimize genetic issues, and ensure well-being for both parent rats and their offspring.
