I'm going to ask my parents if I can adopt these rats: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/pet/700714141.html
They are being euthanized it 2-3 weeks and are lab rats. It says they are myco-free - what does this mean? The only thing I found through googling was this statement: Keep this in mind if a breeder says their rats are "myco-free." Either the breeder is lying (maybe unintentionally) or their lines are as frail as lab rats.
And I don't really get that... does this mean lab rats are frail or something? *so confused*
I'm just curious, though, as to why lab rats are myco-free, whatever it means, and regular rats aren't? :?
