How I deal with the smell of breeding my own rats and mice

[steve671]

This is a video I shot in my reptile and rodent breeding room. This shows how I deal with the smell associated with breeding rats and mice indoors. Hope this helps some people out that are breeding their own feeders.

Where did you buy it from?

I don't know if these are the best prices available, but here is a source for each part.

Steve, that is why my wife said "NO" to rats. I have to buy them or find a new wife. Thanks for sharing! In my snake room I have put a fan to the outside world. The fan is on timer and simply pumps out the stink 3 times in 24hrs. Not the best, but it 'seems' to work good.

I bought an air exchanger for the room my rats are in. Works great!!!

Here's what I'm using, it's costly but very effective.

Here's a slightly cheaper model but it will give you an idea how well it works.

Something that has REALLY helped with our colony, is using the pine based kitty litter.
We get this from petco, it's cheap, and it knocks down the smell big time.

I'd be leery of putting that in with rats, pine is not something rats can tolerate.
Kiln dried pine shavings is one thing, but a pine based kitty litter?

Interesting video. I may have to look into something similar to what you have.
