crazy rat!!!!!!!!!
ok i have a big problem these rats have been together for a month and a half, and all of a sudden one of the females went crazy i mean completely nuts. she was attacking the other girls and biting herself. the other girls was holding her down it was so weird and the big male was hiding. then the other girls hid and she still was freaking out i had to catch her with a pair of tongs and she started attacking the tongs. usually i can hold the rats they are in my house so i hear them all the time i could hear her from the other side of my house. she is from pet smart. what should i do. i dont want to kill her and now im scared to use her as food incase she has something.

Re: crazy rat!!!!!!!!!
im sure it will be ok if you feed her to your snakes. but i would not recommend putting her back in the tank with the others, but using her as food shouldn't be a problem

Re: crazy rat!!!!!!!!!
if you co2 her you can feed her to your snakes. thiers 2 ways of doing a co2 chamber.
1. styrafoam (sp) cooler and dry ice. all you need for this is a styrafoam cooler and a some thing to hold your dry ice. After you gather these things. You put your rat in the cooler then the dry ice in the cooler. cover the cooler then wait 30min - 1 hr. and then wala snake food.
2. with a paintball canister which is hard for me to explain

Re: crazy rat!!!!!!!!!
ok rats are proving to be a nightmare. i feed my big female 2 large rats a week. would it be bad for me to start feeding her 4 or 5 large mice a week i seem to have better luck with mice? or is that to stressfull for her to have to kill that many. i hate rasing rats!!!!!!!!!!

Re: crazy rat!!!!!!!!!
hmmm maybe you should just up her food size maybe a small gp (guiena pig sp) or a small rabbit?
