I have been breeding rats and mice for over 3 years. 10 ten gallon 1.5 (white)mice tanks . and 6 tubs of rats 1.2 in mortar tubs and have NEVER once been bit. I think I would get different stock if I was. As for the smell I use Cellsorb plus for the mice and I can go between 7 and 10 days between cleanings but just stirring the Cellsorb Plus with a dowel once or twice during the time frame. If you havent tried Cellsorb Plus, I would give it a shot with the mice. Really keeps the smell to a minimum. I get it at cost from one of the pet shops I supply for $15 for 40lb bag.

For the rats I use aspen. I know these arent high numbers for some in this forum. But I supply two pet stores with feeder mice usually 50 a week.. Hamsters are nasty little solitary biting machines..(When used for breeding)
