Switching to rats

[Zincubus]

Depending on your location, I would never suggest introducing local bark, branches, leaves and brick-a-brac. Here in sunny Florida, it would be an open invitation for reptile mites

Fair comments I guess , not too much to worry about over in grotty Manchester , UK .

I guess Florida is a different ball game , we visited my son there last year and saw all the snakes and lizards etc ... Amazing place .
