Posted by: bigdogreps at Wed Dec 6 08:30:21 2006 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by bigdogreps ] I was wondering if there was anyone who could answer some questions about rodents...I breed my own rats/mice for my ball collection in freedom breeder racks. I have never had a problem with the snakes consuming them but I am always worried if mammal parasites can cross over to the snakes and if I should be cleaning up the rats periodically because I do occasionally introduce rodents from various sources to increase breeding.If I should be deparasiting my rodents is there a product out there to do so,that is also safe for my snakes? Occasionally my rats get "scabby" looking and decreased fur,is this from over breeding,scuffling with the male or is this a sign they are unhealthy? Recently i bought a large supply of live rodents that looked o.k. untill I got them home and they generally did not gain any weight and got emaciated and eventually died a slow death.Couldnt help thinking maybe they would pass on something to my breeders. I noticed the guy was feeding them only dog food. Mine are fed lab blocks and kept very clean with fresh water,I will even throw in fesh veggies fruit. Any rodent education much appreciated!
