LOL I know what you mean. Mice stink like hell and rats just stink bad? Cleaning, feeding, and watering the rodents is a huge time and space commitment. I hate dealing with it as well but I also use over 300 mice a month and cant bring myself to paying for that many plus shipping. I started breeding the rats in hopes that my larger colubrids would eat 1-2 rats a week in stead of 6-10 mice. A 6' Texas rat sucking down 6 adult mice at a sitting is silly.

Thanks for the feedback. I will see how that rats go. I would love to reduce the number of mice and at the same time reduce my labor and smell. But maybe I am wishful thinking
