Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Breeding feeders
I've been breeding my own mice and rats for a little while now, started off with high quality petco stock. Is there any product that is safe to use on them and for my snakes, that will kill or repel the little creapy crawlies that live on them? I feed frozen to most of my collection, but I have a couple that are kind of hit and miss on FT, so they get live from time to time.

Husbandry issues
Helllo either you got the rodets that way or you have improper husbandry that has allowed these things to happen. it is better to just get rid of all the rodents, break down the cages clean and disinfect everything and get new stock from a different source. You should also just breed all your feeders!

I'm referring to any kind of tick/mite/flea that small mammals may get. I'm looking more as a preventative than anything else.

If your mice are started clean, are kept clean, and protected from other animals getting at them, as they should be, you shouldn't have to worry about them getting "critters".

As long as you are not breeding insects in the same location you can spray the cages with Provent-a-Mite once a month. You can also use ProZap Insect Guard strips if they are in an area with no breeding insects and no human occupants.
