Hi,

First of all thanks for writing back such a nice reply. The smell is so funny because even if I buy some mice at the pet store my car smells before I can get them home. There just is not an answer to the smell problem because if there was think how much money you could make with that. The only time my basement does not smell is one day after I clean the tank. So if I clean 2 times a week I get 2 days out of 7 without odor.

I am thinking strongly about breeding ASF rats because I know the smell is far less. Also, they are a little bigger as well. As of right now I have 8 balls that won't eat rats. Two are babies and I think they will switch over easy. I am just not messing with the baby balls until they get over 100 grams. Then I am needing to feed 6 balls a week that won't eat a rat yet. I am going to stay with the mice for another month or two in hopes that I can get my snakes over to rats. Well, that is my dream at least.

Thanks again,
Mark
