The main reason I ask is that a friend of mine keeps warning me that it's so much harder than I think it will be. He raises his own rats and has had issues. He keeps saying, "you'll see. They'll eait their babies. Changing tubs takes hours; they get sick; they'll get lice; etc."

Until I ordered the Native Earth Rat food, he was feeding his rats dog food. I can't help but think that many of his problems were caused by using dog food. he piggy backed some food on my order...

Anyway, I hope I really am overthinking it. I'm just wondering because of all he keeps telling me.

thanks guys!
