his cold is 100% gone now. not even a little snotty! i live half way out in the country, it's just our neighborhood and a few about a mile away, then it's about 10 miles to town (we even have a WHOLE dairy farm down the street). we don't have a rat problem here at our house, but being in the country, i'm sure there are some in the area! we frequently have deer across the street, possums, raccoons, etc in our yard. i'd rather not have the rat problem even start though. we looked into the frozen mice, and since no one locally sells them when we priced them we'd pay $19.00 for 20 rats, but then we'd pay $41 just for the shipping
our dogs wouldn't touch them, they'd probably scream at the sight of a rat. none of them but sheeba that is. she's is infamous for finding rodents and eating them. she was a stray for an unknown amount of time and takes meals whenever they're presented, yuck!
p.s.- the snake is doing so well, he's about to shed, starting to get that glazed eye look. oh, and IF the dogs did manage to get a hold of the snake (which is not going to happen) that would be nasty, they like to play tug of war.
