    Hardest part of this hobby

    I'm fairly new to this cool hobby that I should of started a long time ago. I guess I've gotten to be a little soft hearted as I've mellowed with age. All the cleaning doesn't really bother me but raising these rats is the best way for me to feed them and I thoroughly enjoy breeding rats. But having to pick the ones to feed makes me feel terrible, these rats are so damn cute.

    Yeah breeding your own rats is fun, but feeding off certain ones can suck sometimes!
    Thats what holdbacks are for though!!!

    It is sometimes hard to feed off certain rats, but that is also the purpose of raising them. When it come down to it I don't feel that bad doing it because they are raised for that specific reason. I also really like how much money breeding my own rats saves me.

    Lol, I tell myself that's what they are there for. That and we do have a few "holdback" pets...

    Well posting cute pictures of rats being held doesn't help the situation at all. I keep handling to a minimum just to avoid that situation.
