I've pretty much decided to try to switch my collection over to rats for health and size reasons. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what keeping rats entails. So here are a few questions...
1. What ratio of sexes would work best in each colony?
2. What size enclosure would be needed to house the preferred size colony?
3. What are the husbandry differences between mice and rats?
4. Anything else you think might come in handy
If anyone has time to answer some or all of these questions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.
