There is a guy who sells and ships Dubia's I got 100 this fall, I seriously hated them lol!! I could not touch them... I ended up feeding off the entire colony. I will stick too breeding mealworms, superworms and crickets. Atleast I can touch them lol!
SuzukiRider Rats and Fleas are in Alberta. I use to work at the SPCA here and trust me "most" of the animals that came in from reserves and multi family farms where crawling with fleas. I didn't think we had them here until working at a shelter. They are so gross... I fostered a puppy who was treated and it took 2-3 days of baths and combing to get the dead fleas off him poor pup!
Rats are banned but there are plenty of people who have them here, breed and use as feeders. If they are caught it's a nice big fine. From what I understand if you have a rat neutered you can keep it as a pet here in Alberta. You just need a permit and a note from a Vet. $300 to neuter a rat just too keep it as a pet sounds a bit crazy too me. I'll stick with pet mice lol!
