Ugh! Someone (not the toddler) Opened the Incubator!!!!! "There was a wire in there" said the culprit. I don't now what to do! I've opened the 'bator to take out the dead duckling in the egg,and it's been opened TWICE by little people. WHAT should I do?! How do I now if they are shrink wrapped?!

Quote: Not mice I have problems with; rats. Rats have the same receptors, I wonder? I'll try mixing cayenne in with the pellets next time I fill the feeder tube if they do. I just set up one of those 5 gal bucket traps, baited with peanut butter over approx. 1.5 gal. of water.

Nice curtains.

You didn't hear it from me, but honestly, I don't think opening the bator is that big a deal if you have humidity night enough. Relax.

I tried the cayenne pepper when I had rats..I think they enjoyed the "Mexican" flavor the food had.

I resorted to desperate measures.

Yea.. lots of problems I did not have before hand....

I have been bugging him to go see a doc for ages.
