Javakittie you are way out of context.
All of my adult rats and mice are pets. My sig on KS has my rats and mice listed. The #s are not updated often. The offspring that I don't want to keep as pets are feeders or pets for other people. I do not sell live feeders. They are humanely euthanized.

According to this website all of my cages/amount of rats in them are ideal. Anyone is more then welcome to come to my home and see my rats. There are no resp problem or tumors in my colony. I have bred those issues out. No my rats do not die of natural causes because when they become old they are humanly euthanized before they start to suffer.
I have 4 20 longs tank with toppers and there are 4 rats in each. Then I have 1 40 tank with a topper that I made and that topper consists of 3 wire cages. And there are right now 19 female rats in there.
My rats have plenty of room and enrichment. They are all happy and well socialized. I breed them for their personality. I don't have to train them to be nice or to take treats. They are taking treats at the age of 4 weeks. Just beacuse I don't cook for my rats or hold each one for an hour a day does not mean that my rats do not have excellent care. If the rats are not stressed at my presence then I do not need to condition them. Yes, I do hold them as I see fit. Because it is not necessary to hold my rats daily. They are housed no less then 3. If I have a rat that, for some reason, had to be housed singley then I would hold it everyday.
If you don't believe what I say then oh well. I know that I take excellent care of all my animals. I have friends that are vets are they have been to my home several times and love the way I care for my animals and even say how well socialized they are. One vet said "wow, they are all waiting for treats and not hiding."
Just beacuse some of my rodents go as feeders does not mean that I don't care and love them. I am not here to get grief from anyone. I am here to help people and rats. If you don't want me here then that is fine. And plese don't spread lies about me and my rat care. Sorry for the joke on KS. If you don't make light of situations then life can become pretty depressing.
