Wow~ And I practically gave away a mess of rats a couple weeks ago! Sold them off for about what they cost me to produce (Thanks Steven and Rose! The extra freezer space is sure appreciated at the holiday here!) And they are building up on me again! If there really is a shortage, it shouldn't last long. Rats and Mice breed like........well.........like rats and mice. Increasing production is not difficult.

I don't think I would resort to feeding a hamster.......that will get mighty expensive in short order if the snake decides he prefers them. Shop around.......someone has rats I'm sure. You may not be able to purchase a bakers dozen, but you should be able to get a rat or two to hold you over. Check in the "Fancy Rat" section at the pet store.....only difference between a feeder and a fancy is who is breeding it. I have a lot of beautiful feeder rats myself!
