are you going to feed it to your snake or keep it for reperductional purpuses?

Rats are just fuzzy pooping machines.

I used to have two pet rats. A hairless guy named Maximus, and a furry one named Morpheus. They were both black hooded (wicked cute on hairless rats). I miss the little guys!! Rats are so smart, and so nice, and mine were super clean, and never smelled bad. Max knew/knows all kinds of tricks, too. I gavce them to a lady who wanted to breed Max (the two could only go together, they were best buds) and now my little Maxie has 20 babies!! LOL, I know rats are food, but so are pigs...doesn't mean I don't like pigs! That's another very intelligent and underestimated animal...

Very true, I never had a problem with my rats smelling, I have 6 in one cage and as long as I clean them weekly they never smell...they are awesome animals, super affectionate and as smart, if not smarter than most dogs... people shouldn't be so quick to say they're gross and good for nothing but food...remember, some people have horrible opinions of reptiles too...sure, snakes eat them, and we need to breed them to use as feeders, but if someone posted a picture of their pet corn and then someone else came up and posted saying "My kingsnake would love to eat that, yum!" or "corns are only good for indigo food" it wouldn't be taken nearly so lightly. Rats' lives are just as important as snakes' lives or any other animal for that matter...who are we to say which animals are more worthy than others?
