Man I hate rodents, but I gotta deal with them I guess... I never handle my rats ever. Not my norway rats either... I just get them on 1 side of the tub, clean half, go to the other half and clean, push some waste in 1 corner attempting totrain them to use that side only... Probably will do the same with these buggers.
Now I'm using large bins to put the home depot tubs in for them to crawl out, then scoop them up with a large animal feeder and put them back in the tub.... god I hate rodents.
