    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

If this is breaking a rule please remove it or move it. I was unsure of the rules in regards to free stuff.

I learned to do a rat rack on these boards and well, my colony has exploded. I went from 30-40 young a month to about 110 this month. I am offering free pinky and fuzzy rats to board members as long as they last. I would really like to see a contribution given to the board if you wish to give at all. Rats offered are all under a month old and breeders are fed Mazuri diet, fresh veggies, and dry cereal.

Please contact me so we can meet and get these rats new homes. I would rather see members here get them than local pet shops only to turn them for a quick buck.

Sorry guys, I won't freeze or ship them. First come, first serve.

Just trying to give back to the membership that has given me so much good information. Thanks guys!!!

I am keeping all solid black ones....and maybe 5-10 for my own stuff. Give me a phone number or some contact info (I would say 30+ fuzzies right at the moment with multiple moms ready to drop any day.)
 
original question: do I have any larges?

none that I will part with right now. I have 30-40 mediums and about the same in smalls. I have had to resort to dog food since my rodent food supplier jacked my prices through the roof. In turn my stuff takes MUCH longer to get big. However they seem reproduce like wildfire...large litter but tiny babies and they stay small for MONTHS. I only have 4 boas and a ball python this week so I always offer up any extra once I feed. So far Triplemoon has eagerly taken anything I have had to spare.

If people can find me a decent priced food supplier AND chip in a little, I will build up to another 2 racks and care for them. I actually enjoy the experience of the rats as much as the snakes. One rack is yielding about 50-70 babies per month to give an idea of potential. One month I had over 200.
 
I still haven't had any luck getting anywhere near the pricing I was getting two years ago. I'm pretty PO'ed. I have one more call to make to a place about an hour north from us that Harlan put me in contact with, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
well I have resorted to 2 nursery tubs instead of one because of the growth rates. Before I could actually take them from the nursery cage and either feed them off or put them directly into a breeder bin. Larger rats would kill them because of size differences.

sorry I work weekends.

If you want a quantity arranged or want a constant supply you would have to drive down. I am considering taking on a colony or even possibly an entire rack of ASF's int he future if people can handle my supply.
