Re: Rats
I echo the sentiments of most here as well. I also breed rats to feed my large collection of pythons and find that most responsible breeders are concerned about the quality of life of their feeders. I love my snakes and have grown to love my rat colonies as well (still hate mice those bitey little pricks...) Regardless of whether or not they were born to serve a higher purpose, I have found over ten years of breeding rats that a happy rat is a healthy, large, good breeding, unstressed rat. I feed it a high quality lab-diet formula, and keep them on kiln-dried hardwood (Beta Chip).
I think it was very brave of you to come on here and somehow and to tow the line of getting your point across without being preachy. Bravo to you.
