LPG or NATURAL GAS???

Hi All
We are considering switching from LPG to natural gas. I would appreciate any information or input from anyone who has used/is using natural gas. I know we would have to change the bunsen burners. If anyone can note advantages or disadvantages this would be most helpful.
Thanks

rats

We have ordered our rats from Southern Bio. They deliver overnight and we have ordered male, female and pregnant ones. Just don't tell the office ladies what is in the package.
