    HUGE problem!!

    So i decided to start breeding rats for all my ball pythons. So i went out and bought 1 male and 1 female rat. 2 weeks later or today i go down to my basement to check on them and....... They escaped

    So now i have a breeding pair of rats running lose in my basement. Do you guys think they will be able to survive if so how long.

    Any suggestions on how i can capture them Dead or alive.

    I would really appriciate any helpful or postitive feed back.

    Rat trap

    The sooner the better, last thing you want are rats chewing around, especially wires this could become fire hazard.

    I would buy five mouse traps and spread them around your basement, you dont want little rats around with adults thats alot of rats. Haha let your snakes loose down there to get the job done! (I'm only joking dont really do that)
