:rofl::rofl::rofl: It is hanging there till spring.. that side of the room use to be a Garden room..:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Great video!

I see that your keeping the rats and the snakes in the same room. How is that working out for you?
In my new house I have a seperate house in the yard where I was thinking about keeping the snakes and also breed some rats but I'm not shure.

My rats have been two steps away from my snakes for over a year now, and I've had no problems - the snakes aren't any more aggressive - they know when feeding day is.

Bingo

My rats are inches away from my snake rack, and no probs! Just don't clean rats, then snakes...lol.

Very nice Ed! I remember when you were first building it all! And the little black rex rat you were fighting with was a berkshire..lol. Funny I didn't notice an accent..lol. Do a ball python vid next!:clap:

Great show and lots of info. Thanks for sharing.

Your rats seems smaller than the PEW that I have. Mine are about 8-9 inches when stresched, not counting the tail. How big are yours?

I heard if we handle the pinks with our hands and put them back, the moms won't nurse them because of the human scent. How do you do that?

Thanks

I've never measured them before I have some males the size of small dogs and even a few great big females.

I have never had a problem with that in fact if I notice a mom not nursing a pink I will pull it out and foster it off to another tub that has pink around the same age. I have done this a few time with great success.

I have good rats I can even reach in and take baby's right off the mom nursing and she just lays there.

Great questions. Glad I could offer my limited input.

nice video Ed!

:gj:

My moms are pretty good about letting me reach in and grab the babies...even right after they are born. Well, maybe a couple hours after..I never see them actually giving birth. :rolleyes:
