Why do I keep doing this??

[BalloonzForU]

I puchased a Freedom Breeder rodent rack with a total of 10 Mice tubs and 6 rat tubs. It came frieght and I was told I could pop each level off and take it off the truck, so no need for a lift gate. LOL Oh yeah sure! They put it together so well that I couldn't get the tubing apart for each level till we lifted the thing off the truck and on to the ground! Then I moved each level into my house and down to the basement, put on the casters, put it back together, loaded it up with food (100lbs), moved the rodents in, filled up the 5 gal bucket with water. Now I feel like I was hit with a Mack Truck!! Told Ken he gets to move it out of the house!! :main_evilgrin:

Thank you!!

Here's some pics of it and some of it's residents.

My only mommy at the momment. She gave birth to 14 babies, but we are down to only 5. I think the daddy realized he wasn't the daddy afterall. All babies het siamese. Hopping one is a male so I can put it with the other siamese I have.

Mieces

This girl always comes out to greet me when I open her tub.

Couple siamese dumbos and one dumbo.

My only Rex, not the best quality, but I think he's cute, raised him up from a little pup.

How cool! I had rat racks once, didn't have time to devote to everything, so I stopped with the rodents, and focused on the reptiles, just buying rodents for feeders.

I always have to do that sort of thing myself. No one to help unload, or set up, or move things. I'm strong farmgirl.. strong like ox! Pull plow when horse die!

I have some balls that have not been able to be switched over to f/t so this was very much needed. Buying live can sure put a dent into ones bank account. LOL I'm hopping that I'll have an over run and be able to stock up my own f/t and fill in some of the inbetween sizes that I can't get from the supplier.

I ususually do all this kind of stuff myself as well, but I'm still feeling some pain from an epidural gone wrong and my whole right arm is messed up from a rotator cuff and pinched nerve issue. Took a lot of motrin and a hot shower, but I'm feeling much better now.

Hmmm I guess Whisker's likes the rodent rack as well!! lol

I sure do love those siamese rats. But they're too cute to feed to the ball pythons..........LOL.
