Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You also need to keep them paired for life because they are prone to not getting along if introduced as adults.

you are correct, I have mine 1.2 and they produce normally 6-7 per female
mice don't normally do well mixing them up once colonized either.

I disagree lol! My arguement might be because rats are larger and release more waste and it qucikly begins to stink. I have to change the litter pan at least twices as much. Maybe mice do stink more however Rats produce more waste and the smell gets worse quicker! IMO.

Hey Paul, sweet rack. I built a couple of these not to long ago and while doing so I noticed a couple things I didn't like about it. I had to change the width of the frame to 20 1/2" and change the spacing for the runners to 3/4" and the space between the shelves to 8" to save on some space. It cut a foot off the total hight of the rack by cutting 2" from each level. I just thought I would put a couple cents in to try and help anyone I can. I do have a question about the way you ran your water though. Do you have enough pressure on the first nipple? I ran mine to the bottm and tee'd off on the way back up to ad pressure but it still doesn't have alot of preesure.
