Naked mole-rats cannot be kept as pets. They must live in large colonies, and they have fairly strict temperature and humidity requirements. They are high-maintenance animals and can live from ten to 30 years. Removing them from the wild in Africa is expensive, risky, and disruptive to the habitats of naked mole-rats and other animals. Naked mole-rats are kept and bred in highly controlled enclosures in some universities and zoos. Under no circumstances should they be kept as pets.

Some people ask the question, why would anybody even want a humane rat trap? Well, there are reasons and this page is dedicated to those individuals who care.

Yes. The peripheral controller is interchangeable between rat and mouse hardware. So for example you could be acclimating 32 rats while monitoring 32 mice with the peripheral controllers.

The average lifespan of a pet rat is between 2 and 3 years. However, genetics, husbandry and love will ultimately determine how long your pets live. Animals bred from healthy parents will live longer than those bred from weak and sickly animals, and animals fed a healthy diet and kept in clean cages using the proper bedding will live longer than those fed junk food who live in dirty cages on pine or cedar. Love and attention can sometimes play a big role in how long your rat will live.

Answer: Some bird breeders seem to get away with that approach, but I sure don't seem to be able to get away with it. The approach that works best for me is to wait until the presence of rodents becomes apparent, either by finding burrows or rodent droppings. I then place bait stations at strategic locations in and around the aviaries that are along the pathways used by the rodents.

Place the trap inside a small cardboard box that has enough height to allow the trap to snap. Some shoe boxes work for this). Cut a 3" x 3 opening on two opposite sides of the box. Place the box with a baited trap in a known rat path so that the rats will be able to enter the box as they travel on their path.
