See the setup as far as the animals was perfect when we had the place to ourselves. We had the snakes and rats in the second bedroom. Because they give us 24-48 hour notice for all repairs (unless you requested the repair) we could easily move animals around as needed. If the repair was downstairs, then we'd have no problem. The cats go in the bedroom, the snakes and rats stay where they are and if they hear a cat meow (we have 3) who can say its more than the two, right. And snakes and rats don't really make much noise. If the repair was in the "animal room" then we could easily move all cages into the other bedroom in that 24-48 hour notice period and we'd have no issue. Now that we have roommates, all the animals are downstairs. So we'd have to haul all the cages up the stairs and into our bedroom and haul them back down. It would take 2-3 times as long and it would be back breaking work. (glass tanks are heavy)

So our nice little system for not getting caught with so many animals has been disrupted. Rah! We are going to talk to them either tonight or tomorrow about our issues.
