I've noticed that feeding them Lab Mix produces ALOT more babies. What are you feeding?

Zigler...i do believe. i buy the 50lb bags from a local breeder for cost. lab mixs are the way to go as the provide everything that is needed for the rats.
i do throw some extras in for expecting moms.. cat food is something they LOVE

How are the ratterlings doing? Glad that they are finally breeding for you! 
I can testify to the cat food, and after I had this virus go though my rat collection it's back up to par and on point. I am getting some extremely fat pinkies (rats). I feed Mazuri, Harlan, Friskies, Goodlife (veggies) and odds and ends of fruits veggies and other treats. I do not give them dog food although some have reported good results from it.
