    feeding off rats.

    well i learned that it was alittle hard for me to take some babies from mom and feed them off two days ago.... i watched these little buggers grow from little pink and red things to furry little(cute) bundles of hair... well the first one was hard to let go, but after i saw it go it wasnt too hard to watch the rest go. i guess the first is always the hardest.

    Re: feeding off rats.

    Thats why I breed pets and feeders. I have my little breeding projects that I have for the pet industry and I don't get attached to my breeders.

    In fact, when I am just holding back girls I wait until they are old enough to sex and I pull my holdback girls and leave them with one mom and put the ones I'm not holding back with other moms to just be raised as feeders.

    Thats how I do it anyway. It works for me, but then again I don't get that attached to them LOL. I got pissed at one of my male breeders the other day and chucked him in with a boa LOL.

    Thanks a lot! Haha. Now I have 28 het females waiting to go back in with your little "unique" creation.

    I wonder what in the hell I am going to do with all these tailless rats? LOL. I'll tell you what I am going to do with them. I'm not going to stop until I have dumbo rex tailless.

    I'm fortunate that I am expanding a lot of breeding projects at the moment. I get to hold back A LOT of animals right now. I don't think that anyone really enjoys feeding cute little baby rats to their snakes, especially not ones that you raise yourself, but its part of the hobby. So, you just do it.
