I would much rather care for the rats and buy their feed and bedding (a meager cost compared to $100 a month!) I do not even spend that much on horse feed/hay a month for 2horses; or for food for my husband and I!!

I plan on going to one of the reputable shops in my area (they actually keep breeding records on their rats, and dno't inbreed) and get new stock from them. my old stock was getting on in years anyhow.. but ARGH! How do people feed live, and afford to do it, without breeding!

I am definatly glad that I kepy my rat caging! Time to set it up again.
Sorry to hear the expenses have caught up with ya. Especially now when money is really tight. (at least it is for me)
