For enrichment you could add some plastic cat ball toys with the bells (no catnip though that’s toxic for rats) and plastic PVC pipe to chew on. Some wood bird toys, popsicle sticks, cardboard toilet paper tubes, ETC. That’s a nice setup though!!
@@henryofskalitz4879 I’ve seen plenty of feeder breeders add enrichment/treats. Helps prevent them from chewing a hole in the bin or potentially fighting if they have places to hide and toys to chew. And stress for a rat can lead them to becoming sick. It’s not something that has to be done, they are just gonna be snake food, but it’s never a bad idea. 🤷🏼♀️ nothing wrong with keeping an animal happy even if it will become part of the food chain.
Them stock tanks are great i purchased one about two months ago great for hold backs. Weird that your females were fighting that's what I mostly hold back until my older rats stop having litters I replace mine every 8 to 10 months
Females weren't fighting, all the males were. After the 2nd cleaning I separated the females out. Within a week or two after that the males began fighting. With this 2nd round I double checked everyone going in to make sure they were males and so far haven't had any issues. This batch seems to be growing out faster and overall more chill.
Very nice city you made there for them 🙃

Please make another live feeding video!! Nice setup though

Also, one thing I don't like about using the stock tank is I lose a lot of vertical space.
How are Moses and Cornflake? They are my favorite one of your snakes lol
As I'm typing cornflake is upstairs in the house free roaming while I clean rodent tubs and Moses is caged up. Both are doing well
What is your rabbit kill count? I must know 😂
