All,
I am getting to the number of herps, about 50 now (not including when I have Neonates), that raising my own food is going to have to become a priority. I keep all snakes, about half of which need mice, the other half needs rats of various sizes. So...all of this said, I need to set up some sort of rack for breeding both types of rodents. Can this be done in the same setup? I am not without means, and can purchase a commercial rack if you all would care to share any links with me, but, I can also build my own, I just have no idea what works the best. I work full time and have 3 kids, so the time in maintaining these colonies is what I am trying to keep as efficient as possible, so i am looking for a tried and true method/model. I would rather spend the time with my herps, and as little time changing food/water, and bedding on rat cages as possible. Any suggestions anyone? Currently I keep about 30 Rosy boas of various locale's and sizes, and several pairs of Australian/New Guinea Pythons...and a few locally caught Brooksi kings, just cuz I can. I actually have 5 15 gallon low aquariums with lids, I though of using these...but seems they woudl not work great. I also have a 135 gallon aquarium in y garage that is just takin gup space. I'll trade it for a rodent rack as well if anyone who reads this is local. Any suggestions? HELP!
HELP!
