I am looking to breed my own feeder rats to feed my bp collection.
the issue is that I live in a condo that does not allow rodents.

I would like a small colony (1.2)

i am thinking that I will purchase a couple lab rat tubs and keep them on a private deck attached to our condo within a larger Rubbermaid tub. ( to minimize noise/smell)

has anybody else done anything similar? Would this sIze of colony produce an obvious amount of noise / smell?

Thanks in advance,
Done from my phone, so I appologise for the poor grammar.
