Rats!!! eh....I thought hamsters. Anyway sorry.

You can just give them toilet paper. I've given every rodent I've ever had toilet paper and the tubes and they love to make nests and chew up the tubes

Even for hamsters?!

yeah youll probably want to get some sort of fish like pirannahs or oscars thatll eat your babies LOL or youll be having 4 to 5 generations in like 2 weeks which can become a problem. why do u want to breed them?

also in regard to your predicament, could there be a possibility one of your rats is infertile, i hear its a major problem in rats, sometimes due to interbreeding or possibly their on different sides of the species ladder and cant produce with each other?

Yes, I have never had a problem giving tp to my hamsters, mice, or rats. Its a super soft nest once their done and it gives them something to do. Sometimes when you clean the bedding you can take out the nest and give them another few pieces. I have found that the hamsters will make as big as a bed as you let them.

Its probably not a good idea to breed them anyways. If they're pets mass breeding can shorten their life span tremendously as it does take a lot out of the mothers. If they're reptile or fish food then it would probably be more cost efficient to just buy frozen rats.

It might be when they are able to but the rats themselves may not be ready. Some rodents start later depending on genetics and such. Believe me with time you'll have babies, once they get started they are worse then convicts so be careful .

ok thanks

I did that for a little for my piranhas. Its not worth it in my opinion and you feel pretty bad feeding those cute little babies. Well I do at least. I just let them go like a week ago.
