Adam, would you say that those "Rex" rats pose the risk of what you stated above? Ive seen a few people breeding these for feeders, and was considering adding one or two into my colony. After having read this, Im reconsidering, as Ive never heard of too much hair posing digestion problems before.

Thanks for that tidbit
It's really a matter of the amount of hair (or anything that could block a digestive passage) vs. the size of the animal ... if a hatchling ball python swallows a handfull of aspen for example, you're going to have problems ... but if a 4000 gram adult female swallows that much, she'll just pass it out.
