i have a small collection of balls and really want to expand my collection but i need to find a better place to have my bigger collection. raising rats smell and so thats where my issue starts. where i house my collection i have room but in order to expand my collection i need more rats so im just curious to see where most people house there collections and how they deal with rat smell? some pics of where people are housing there stuff would be great be it a garage, empty room, attic hat ever just want to get ideas? thanks in advance!

I live near baltimore, so its easy find an alley, tie a chicken bone to a string and reel 'em in, get 30 or 40 a night, sometimes a homeless guy too but i usually just throw them back.

Wouldn't that be what we locals call "chicken neckin", but usually the object is to catch crustaceans!(blue crabs)in the bay!

If they refuse to take anything but live, replace them with ones that will.

i tried cant say 100% but i know i will have so many wasted rats! there about 3 years old balls and always ate live i feel now its too late to try f/t or p/k? thanks for your post!

My daughter just moved out, so her room is becoming a herp room and I keep rodents in the basement. A friend recently told me about a bedding product called "equine fresh" and I'm impressed with it. Depending on the # of rodents in each tray I get 3-6 wks before odor, oh I also sprinkel in a little arm & hammer.
