In high school I competed for 3 years in the Intel/ISEF regional science fair and won first place in the plant & animal category (1 grand for each time) but the last time I was able to go international and I won third place in the animal category, which was another grand.
Yes I do, since 2006.
Because I don't breed rats for food, I breed them as pets. It's a selection work on health and behaviour. My rats have an average of 3 years old without any tumor, respiratory disease, skin disease or behaviour problem. Parents are carefully chosen, babies are healthily fed with good food, socialised with human, children, dogs and cats. They also have a pedigree.
What the heck have I gotten myself into....Just wait until you get the taste for exotics.
