I rescue rodents such as rats, hamsters and mice,, if they are friendly enough I may find a home for them or add them to my colony, if they are not friendly or in poor health I deal with them the most humanely possible,, I live in college station tx, I also breed rats to offset the cost of keeping all the rodents and to feed my snakes.. yes I am one of those few who like the scaled and furry animals equally. I feed frozen thawed only and take care to socialize with all the baby rats and mice.
