Yes I know my aquariums are dirty, tonight is cleaning day, and I've got 12 girls in the bottom tank growing up to be future breeders.

That is kinda neat. I might try one of those on my next rat box. I plan on building 4-5 more of them. It's just too much of a pain in the butt to find rats around here. They either are sold out, only have XXL grown boa constrictor sized rats, or the rats are barely weaned.

As much as I hate to deal with the stink of a rat colony in my house, it's becoming a necessity.
