BHReptiles- unfortunately the house does not have a garage, it only has a carport with a small storage room... One of the downsides to buying an older house I guess.
I will have to think about this. At the moment I only have a few rats, mostly as pets and to be the foundation for my breeding colony... But if they're going to stay inside I'll have to figure out more ways to reduce odor before committing to raising my own feeders.
Thanks again for your input everyone.
