Man, I gotta breed some rats..to bad the rents dispise them. It would save me so much money!
Doesnt smell? How do you guys keep the smell down, for those who breed rats/keep rats. Just daily cleaning?

Bartman the only way to keep the smell down is to clean cage a lot. Thankfully shaving are cheap.

If you clean to much, the male will work double time to make sure he scent marks everything 
Nice set up

Nice setup Steve. Take some pics of the new racks when your roommate moves out (if you can). I'd be interested to see your new setup

Lookin' good!
Can the rats eat through the wire lid? If they can then it really cuts down on wasted food.
As for keeping the smell down, I bed mine with about 1.5" of pine and clean every Sunday, that seems to do it. I have about 1.5 sq. ft. for each female rat.

Male rats don't have that strong musky smell that male mice do. Rats don't smell unless they are not cleaned regularly. Once or twice a week is fine, depending on how many rats are in the cage and the size of cage.

True that MOST rats don't. But some male rats can have quite the musky smell, especially in enclosed cages like those, it can get quite smelly.
