Decided to give it up - No more rats.
After much thinking, We decided to sell ALL the rats off to the pet store.
I am done, no more..
Just found a female who escaped while pregnant, she nested behind a rack of snake enclosures.. Thankfully we caught her while nursing pinks, so the litter has not had a chance to disperse through our house.
However she destroyed the wiring leading up to several cage lights..
All of my animals are eating frozen / thawed food, and the pet shop does not pay me enough to warrant the damages to my home from escaped rats.
So we decided the best thing to do is just call it a day and cease the breeding operation.
The money we will save not buying all the food and bedding can be channeled into frozen feeders for the herps.
it will also free up 3 very large aquariums for my snakes.
