Haven't seen ya for a while slim. WELCOME BACK!! And thanks. The room took some work to setup but it was totally worth it.

Thank you for the welcome back. I've traveled some interesting roads the last 15 months or so, but it's nice to see some of the old crowd still around :)

Nice! I've got a 1.2 group that I'm waiting to drop their first litters. Over the summer I plan on moving and pimping a rat room out like you've done. so much cheaper to just breed your own food than buy food when you have a sizable collection.

Kick that up to a 1.4 group and really have fun! I've got x12 1.4 groups and some others for circulation after a female pops to keep the breeding numbers up. Your colony will grow so fast you won't know what to do lol


I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Hello interloc!

Beautiful setup!! I love it. I would however make a comment on pine shavings- theres arguments on its overall toxicity for rats. I use paper based beddings for mine (kaytee clean n cozy, just a personal preference because it smells like lavender).

Wood shavings in general, cedar, pine, aspen (aspen being the best shavings for rats imo) have a higher probability of developing myco and giving your fluffies resp. problems.

On that note with the myco- good call on kiln drying
