I agree with you. How could you? I had a hard time back when my Bp was younger, lol. I bred two female rats also with a nice stud tan male with red eyes, he was such an adorable boy. My females; 1 was all white with also red eyes and the other was solid black. Rats are so tame and sweet, its hard to think that I am feeding a probable relative of them each time I feed my snakes. . But when I did have babies I made a quick kill of the pinkie rats that I fed to my male corns. And let the other fully mature (and not hand them) and fed them to my other snakes. But I dont ever feed live, I just couldnt think of that So I had one of my friends who knew how t use CO2 on them and well.. I was a bit sad when he gave me the baggy of 10 rats (this was my first time having baby rats) and it was sad, because they were the children of my rats. But that was 5 yrs ago and now my rats dont breed I just love them for who they are. Even though Mr. Whiskers tries to "do his thing" with Mamasita and Blacky. lol But now I just go to our regular petstore a few miles away and buy f/t. Good luck with those two cute beauties. I have always liked the black and whites, so petty. And when you get them two a boyfriend good luck with breeding them!!
