>>Thanks for the replies.
>>Sonya, so far I have a 4 tub rack that i keep all the rats and my ASF in. I have a few 40 tall tanks and a load of 20 longs all with stands so I space isn't realy an issue, I can use the rack for the nursery. My other issue would be, how does every one get so many babies??? I haven't had any litters for about 2 months, I thought my collony shut down for the winter...
>> On the black rats thing - I do get a few greenish rats (I'm in SE NC) every once in a while out there but all the black rats are inside with me . I think I am going to find the mother of all greenish next spring and just let it free roam out there. i just have to remember to leave water out!
>>I keep all food in a 5 gal bucket. I have chews on the lid but they haven't gotten in yet. I bought poison already but I just can't bring myself to put it out yet.
>>I will keep you posted! If anyone have any more ideas let me know. :>
>>Blue
I hate poison for many reasons. It is very handy and we use it at work ( a pet store) but the fact that the rodents die and stink in inaccessible places, or crawl out and die in front of customers (happened twice!), that and they are available for the cats, dogs or snakes to eat and get poisoned also and that it is down and available for animals I may not want to poison is all reasons I don't use it. Something for you to think....your greenish rats get a poisoned rat they too get it.
Farmer's trick....keep your feed in METAL cans.
I am a little envious that your garage isn't too cold for herps. Mine is fine for the rabbits and pigeons. Upstate NY.
