We're making progress on the rodent room. We're pretty much capable of feeding our entire collection now, so I thought it was about time to give an update.
There are some pretty big changes here, so please let me know what you think. I appreciate your comments!
Very nice setup. I had a friend who started adding a small amount of vanilla extract to the water supply for the rats and it actually made his rodent room smell better.
@angereptile No, there's a window that lets exterior light into the room, so they get a light cycle. The blinds keep it relatively dark though, which is good because rats are nocturnal. Less light is less stress.
@TPReptiles It takes about 4-5 weeks to wean the babies from the mother, and shortly after that they are capable of reproducing (males slightly earlier than females). As for full adult size, that takes at least 3 months (although my oldest babies are just shy of 2 months, so that's an educated guess).
Thanks for the info. Great racks and beautiful set up.
learned alot thx for takeing the time
Nice set up!!!!!
good stuff thanks for sharing
You should do another snake room update
great set up, i am going to attempt to do something similar soon, but not sure if i can get the water tubing etc in the uk, will have to look on ebay lol. x
Awesome watering system !! Goood joB man !!!
@williejaoun Yes, the black tubing is the water. I have tubs filled with water at the top of each rack and the water travels down the black tubing to the valves, which the rats use to get the water.
Each 7 tub rack was approximately $100-120. The birthing rack was probably $700-800 or so (most of that being the tubs).
Sweet video and awesome setup :-)
At the beginning i thaught you were just keeping them as pets, but later on I noticed that you're breading them.
The rodent room is mostly empty now. I sold off my breeding stock. I take delivery of live feeders now.
wow sweet rat room ! .....you have a sweet set up
The rats were taking 3-5 hours a week to maintain, which was more time than the snakes. Since I can get them consistently every week now from a reliable, trusted source, it makes more sense. Since the only rodents I have now are the rats that weren't eaten the previous week, it now only takes me 20 minutes a week to take care of them. Having those hours back each week is worth the extra cost of buying the rodents.
Nice and clean rat room
@IEBallPython The website is: nationalpetpharmacy . com
Search for "rodent food." It's the Native Earth stuff (formerly Harlan).
@CapeFearConstrictors Wow, it was late last night and I was tired. I was thinking you meant some kind of RSS feed or something, not the rodent feed. I put the info in another comment. Thanks!
@pythonlatino I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Our website url is listed in the video description.
i always wondered why the rodent food is kept high above (on top) and outside where the rodents are kept? is this to keep the bedding as clean as possible?
what is the black wiring a water feed
Love video and love seeing nice little fat rats kinda said we have to feed them off. Anyways what's the website for the rat food???
they are always in the dark?
I know this video is from a while back and things may have changed, but I enjoyed it either way and had some questions for you. Where do you get the pine pellets from? Do you still use the Harlen rodent feed from National Pet pharmacy? I use the Mazuri and would love to save some money on my rodent feed. Thanks. Mike @ Osmun Reptiles.
Co2, gassing, please tell me its not what I think it is, right?
I like the 1/4 mesh in them tubs.Do you have any chew outs?
hey buddy what is the estimated cost of your building the breeding rack, grow out rack, and maternity rack.
5 years ago: nice room, man. After all I came to this video because I wanted to see it wether I want to breed rats as pets or to feed snakes/other animals
