Rat breeding re: inbreeding
I have a pair of unrelated rats that I am breeding. They are pets, but their babies are not.
If I were to raise a couple of the female babies to breedable age, would it be "acceptable" to breed them with their father? Or am I looking at birth defects, etc?
Around here I've found it hard to get unrelated rats, due to only one supplier....But I do have the male and female, but ultimately I'd like to up it to 1.5. If I have to get the girls elsewhere I will, but if I can raise them up and mate them with dad, it would be easier. Not so if the results would be increased stillborns, deformites, etc.
