    Re: Incredible allergic reaction to rats, please help!

For the last couple years ive had no problems with these. The only thing that i dont like is the growth Rate. Takes months for them to be a decent size. Also when your new it takes a long time to understand how to care for them. You have to use feeders for the Lab Block or they chew 24/7 turning it to dust. I had to make feeders out of 1/2” hardware cloth and also use hardware cloth around the water bottles or they chewed the plastic around the the fill cap. Yes even on the glass bottles there is a spot they can chew. They are wild like that. I have 6 fourty gal breeder tanks i use with zilla lids and they chewed all the plastic around the rim of the tank till it was gone. Doesnt effect anything but that just shows how they chew. If you can find a frozen seller for them id try those. My wife has no reaction to them at all.

    I’m honestly going to try the other options first just to play it safe. Snakes will be fine until that order gets here and if they won’t eat I guess I’ll figure that out. Already looking for a new home just in case but can’t seem to find anyone near me :/ don’t want them going just anywhere
