hey i would like to start a small business breeding mice rat crickets mils worms. i know @ the moment you are breeding rats. can you please help me how to get started. how can i sale to pet shot how much would i have to invest and stuff like that. please e-mail me luigi667@gmail.com
As I said, I don't have a problem with feeding rodents and such to reptiles. They have gotta eat. What I don't like is the highly clinical attitude towards food animals over pet animals. Pet rats are kept in light, airy, spacious conditions with loads of stimulation and are cleaned out very regularly. They are handled carefully and treated with respect. I think these standards should apply to "food" animals.
@Spyderling im with you that these food animals should be treated better but, animals bred to be pets, are actually bred in even worse conditions than this, petco buys their rodents from farms, where they receive even worse care, and when a rodent gets out of its cage, they dont chase it to put it back in the cage, they simply step on it and kill it so it cant get away... almost any mass produced animal receives bad care, even animals that are bred to be pets
To Spyderling... I understand your objestion, but how about giving dogs bones or cats tuna? They dont have the chase either, but thats because they are a pet, and you care for them..snakes are not the only meat eaters..Do you hunt for the meat you eat(assuming you eat meat)? Probably not, so....
That was pretty damn close to optimum.......most pets are cleaned once a week and he said every 5 days...my prob would be with 90+ temps and mostly bc the uncomfortable warm weather will make them produce less.
Oh, I guess it doesn't matter if you have dozens of rats in a bin and only clean them once a week, as they're being used for food, right?
I have little objection to feeding rodents to reptiles. Better that than they starve, even if it isn't a natural predator vs prey chase. However, if you can't keep the animals (including those used for food) in an optimum environment, you have no business keeping them.
@Spyderling I understand your objection, but think about it..If you eat meat, do you catch it yourself? probably not, at least the snake can kill its food for itself instead of having prepared for them like humans..also, how about giving a cat tuna or giving a dog a bone? Its the same principal.
and also, imagine if it was your job to feed these mice to the snakes, it would be very hard if you got attached, im guessing thats why they pick them up by the tail instead of cuddling it.
@darkseren As I said, I don't have a problem with feeding rodents and such to reptiles. They have gotta eat. What I don't like is the highly clinical attitude towards food animals over pet animals.

Lol.. "freedom breeder". The racks are sold under that name. Fantastic idea. I'm not against having captive animals, but when you are bred in a box and fed to a snake. The word freedom never comes to mind hehe..
Hello, Great rack sytem. Where can I buy the tubing, fittings & values to build a water set-up like that?? Also, where do you buy the prego tubs?? Great job!
Hey nice video. Very cool. After you wean the rats and put them in the holding bin, do you separate them in male holding bins and female holding bins? Or do they all go together. Thanks!
chicagoherps is right, they could do with more bedding or ast least just a pile of shredded newspaper to sleep on.
Jaywillis - this would efinitly work for mice.
gaz691 - you can keep on a maximum (aprox) 23 females with 1 male for reproduction rates to be best, but with that many females another male can usually be added.
where are you located

How is it OK to pick that female up by her tail?

why do you put the food on top?how do they get through the mesh?
mrSugarglider 2 years ago
Food is usualy placed on top to keep it from getting spoiled by urine. The rodents nibble on the parts that poke thru untill it's all gone.
