The rat smells absolytely gross when they it the water. Like dousing a dirty dog in water and that dog smell just overwhelms you.

I Got mine from RodentPro. The only ones that will have a odor are the XL rats. All the smaller ones are never strong. I do have a strong stomach though and have been around some nasty stuff so maybe we differ on what is a really bad odor.

That sounds about right, wet dog. They do smell, and I hate feeding f/t for that reason.

The rotten rat smell is a very sickly sweet smell that makes you gag.

Also, the live rat smell when they are stressed is a different horrible smell as they have a loose stool. Another reason I like breeding my own.

I have definitely pulled rats out of my bins who have passed unexpectedly, given it the sniff test, and fed it off.

I'm going to try getting a different rat and see if it smells as bad as the ones I have. Augh
