    well right now im living at home with my parents so i have all my rats in my closet in 10 gal. tanks until i can get me a rack built for them. i dont have a lot of them just maybe 20 at the most m/f seperated from each other. i have 1 m and 1 f for my main producers these are just the offspring and im feeding them off to my bps so i dont have to spend 5 or more dollars on them each week since i have 4 bp its just easier to go that route. im using aspen bedding and it is stinking about half way through the week it starts getting bad in there. thanks

    Have you tried charcoal? It was suggested in another thread to open a bag and leave it in your rat room.

    LOL she is okay with live rats in your closet but not dead, sealed rats in her freezer....odd :P Sorry it made me chuckle. I'm not being of any use so I'll stop hijacking your thread. Good luck :)

    Vanilla flavoring.......a few drops in 8 oz of water cuts the smell of ammonia in the rat urine. Been using it for years.

    I totally understand, it's just odd she'd prefer live over frozen in her house, tolerating it anyways not necessarily accepting it.

    at first she told me i had to take them to the local reptile store to let them stay there til i found a place to live so i asked him and he said for 2 snakes it would cost me like $10/day fed once a week and everything i was like yea right i aint paying 300 dollars a month for someone else to watch them and take a risk of them getting sold or sick so she finally let me bring them here and my collection has grown from 2-4 ooops i couldnt pass up the pastel and normal for 80 bucks my bad. :D
