Mama rat with a bunch of babies!

Check out my mama rat with her litter of babies, boy is she a tired girl!

I just heard from the moderator that we have to post links instead of photos? What a bummer, I may have to find another forum, I like reading posts with a bunch of photos where I don't have to click on each photo link. Maybe they should let us post one photo with the links to other photos like this one below. Or I could just start my own forum and allow photos LOL. I really like this forum because there are so many sections for different topics. Anyone know of another good forum for snakes and breeder rodents? I'm really bummed, I post stuff on this forum every day...

You do end up with posted pictures. You just have to use a photo hosting site like photobucket, then you post the link from that. The post ends up with your photos showing as if they are here so you can see all the pictures without having to click to another site.

There's a sticky up about "How to post pictures" that explains it all far better than I can.

Nice rattie.

Alternatively you can also use the Tapatalk app if you're posting from your phone. Makes posting pictures way easy.

I've actually been posting photos on my personal website and using a link to that site here, so the photos are actually on my server. But I still got a message from the admin to post links, not photos. I guess we are not supposed to use the photo icon above when writing a post? I'm pretty sure if I post a photo like the one above then when people just look at this web page they increase the bandwidth of this server we are on. If it's a link that you have to click on there's no bandwidth being used here. So I think my top photo is wrong (even though the photo is on my website) and the links below the photo are correct. I think I'm understanding that correctly. The admin was saying that she 'fixed' all my previous posts.

She's like, "isnt there anything you can do to help me?!" Lol I love raising my rats, they're very expressed (I couldnt think of the right word)

Wow! So many baby rats!!

Those who breed their own rats how many snakes do you have? I plan on building to four before years end and given the speed with which these rats grow i dont think thats enough to start breeding. Im afraid i will end up with a bunch of rats too big to feed to my snakes and be stuck with them.

I have 20 snakes but I feed 21 every week (my sister-in-law has a snake). I have about 85 rats and 85 mice, because I don't have all the correct size rodents I am feeding usually about 30 off every week on average. What I don't go through I sell on craigslist and I usually don't have any extras. Unless you are on an island of deep in the middle of nowhere, you should be able to sell off your extras. Although most feed F/T, there's always that one stubborn snake who has to have live and the owner who can never find them since the stores don't like selling feeders. I have build up a small clientele of 'regulars' who buy my extras so I barely even have to list them anymore. Hope that helps!
