rats

[timmy]

Today i bought a female rat that has babies the size i need them to be (pinkies) from a produce\petshop. The problem is, That someone had told me that these rats could kill or make my snake sick because they could of been exposed to poison or ferrel rats. Do you think that I would be risking my snakes health if i was to feed these rats to my snake?

Ummmmmm...is the mom rat a captive bred? ie not found on the shop floor running around and trapped and then sold to you?
I would imagine she is a captive bred spo her bubs should be fine. If they were fed poison they should either be dead or sick.
