Only feeder they had is two sizes too big. :/

[sissysnakes]

It's a male, I'm pretty sure. Dribbling all over the box it's in. Can't even hold the darn thing long enough to turn it over, it's wriggling so much though. It's a black hooded rat, and I think it's a dumbo, as well. Which would make a nice breeder. I have a mini set-up for another refused feeder I ended up with that I offered a few days later and got eaten, so it could stay in that. I get paid on Friday, so I would be able to afford some sort of decent set-up. Only problem is convincing my parents that breeding rats for my one snake is a good idea - though my dad seems okay with me having more snakes just so I can justify buying F/T online in bulk which seems backwards but whatever.


Here's the little offender. Not even kind of friendly, it squeals every time I try to hold it for more than a second.

Firstly if it was a boy you would know, its pretty hard to ignore, rats have large testicles. Secondly of course its not friendly, you just dragged it out of its home and scared it half to death. Rats are cognitive beings and need time in order to learn to trust you. I definitely don't think you should keep it as a pet. Freeze it or feed it.

Dont start breeding until you do more research. At the very least gain some knowledge on the animals you are about to create and kill.
