This is HUGE. Seriously, I think i should have my head examined for even thinking this is a good idea. Again I will have to redo the rat room to fit them in cages, which I dont know is even possible. they would have a majority of the rat room floor and total freedom to run in and out so I think that makes up for some.
I am still in the "thinking" process. I have Edgar and Eli who have bad hearts and Edgar did not do well with the intros today. I took him out of it early since he seemed stressed. He isnt a problem rat my anymeans but I dont want to stress him into death either.
All these rats are awesome for intros. Granted I am still learning the big group but from what I do know from the intros we have done, i removed all the bad devil beads.
I thought soy milk would be an awesome intro treat. Wrong answer, they made the biggest mess ever.
My group of 29 meets my group of 16- you do the math, it may cause mild heart attacks if i do it.
You can see my edgar, cant miss him he is the size of a house.
To many black hooded rats.
I cleaned 7 of the 8 sections of cages while they were in there so they were there for well over an hour. I am still in debate. I would like to let them just run the rat room freely, total free range rats would be awesome for them but I have to figure out living arrangements and how I can make it happen. It will required me to hardware cloth the bottoms of the cages so they cannot get under there some of the girls are still small so they cannot be on the floor. I could put the rexzillas in the top part of the fn, but they wont have access to the floor when going for out time so that is one of the biggest dilemas i have. Unless I can somehow open it all the way across but one is older style the other is newer.
