Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over million descendants.

"Before their offspring are born, rats build nests from any material that can be foraged from the area, including branches, grass, trash, and paper. These nests are usually built in crevices, in rotting trees or in buildings. Rats, generally, are baby-making machines. Female rats can mate around 500 times in a six-hour period and brown rats can produce up to 2,000 offspring in a year, according to Discover Magazine. Brown rats can have up to 22 young at once, though eight or nine is more the average. Tropical rats tend to only have one to six babies at once."

There's nothing in the world that I hate more than rats! I get that they play a vital role in the circle of life , but they are gross haha. They also spread many diseases in areas where it's overpopulated. 

So if 2 rats can make a million babies in just a year and a half, we'd have a endless supply of meat if we farm them right🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤣 !

Are you willing to eat rats??
