Probably Stolen: Rat breeding and husbandry guide
Run a breeding cycle without losing the colony to hunger, crowding or disease. The guide separates stable husbandry decisions from player-tested thresholds that can change between demo versions.
A stable husbandry cycle
Keep breeding stock, growing animals and sale stock easy to distinguish. Check food, health, age and cage occupancy every day, and leave spare capacity before births. A full cage with no feed buffer is a production failure, even if the colony is still alive.
Breeding and health decisions
Pair for the traits you want, but avoid expanding faster than food and space. Replace aging breeders gradually, isolate a health problem before it spreads, and compare the displayed fertility and growth information rather than relying on one fixed threshold from an older demo.
Harvest timing and market route
Choose a sale or processing point before population pressure forces the decision. Compare the value of keeping an animal for growth or breeding with the immediate value of its output. Preserve the healthiest breeding line instead of selling every high-value animal.
