Hi!
Welcome to the group.
Most of us are big rodent lovers! Hope to see you around the Rat subforum here.
There are a few show breeders here on here too.
I love both reptiles and rats equally. (Maybe the rats a little bit more. Shh. Don't tell the ball pythons)
But it all comes down to the fact that the snakes have to eat something. And I'm not going to jeopardize their health due to personal views on rodents.
I have my own Rattery (Pacific Coast Rattery on facebook). That stock is different than my feeder breeders. I breed my own feeders and it does get really sad for me. But I like knowing that my rats get quality care and treatment compared to commercial mill bred feeder rats. I know that they get quality feed and are healthy, thus my snakes are eating quality food too.
And I totally agree about how the snake people are so much nicer than the folks on rat boards, which is why I stopped going to rodent forums and just stick here. Something about rats just bring waves of constant drama. lol
But anyway, hope you stick around and enjoy the forum. Please make a thread and share your critters!
BTW, Thanks Pyrate!
