The $50 pinkies

LMAO!!! What a good girl! At least she didn't eat any

My kitten knocked over my cricket tub not too long ago and I'm still finding refugees, lol.

I'm on a local reptile forum and one of our members is looking for African soft furred rats. I'll ask him what the appeal is.

Here's what he said, "They have larger litters, twice as often as mice, and the are Ball Pythons natural food source in Africa. So if you have a picky eater, chances are, that they won't refuse an ASFR."

the question is how do we get some??

[tikichick]

This page has some good info and looks like they sell them Journal

Here's a forum on them, maybe someone there is a breeder African Soft-furred Rats Information and Exchange :: Index

Been doing some reading on them today, including those links above- think I might have to try breeding them myself. Havent found any legalities against them yet, and they are supposed to smell less than regular mice and rats. Gestation of 23 days, 12-15 babies pretty typical.

They always have them on Kingsnake in the feeder classifieds. They are tempting!!

Well, Here's my rodent set-up.

The mice.


The rats.

[tikichick]

Wow! Those are awesome!

[drache]

I'm thinking - modified IKEA tub racks
