I agree with you I wish more snake keepers bred their rats more humanely they are animals too and they deserve a good quality of life even if it is a short one
I agree that many feeder rats are kept in not great conditions. Yours look very well cared for. Do you ever give them recycled cardboard paper or wood? It’s a cheap way to entertain them.
Are you using any kind of clips to hold the watering valves in? I just got an old school freedom breeder rack form a friend and Im going to re-do the watering system.I like all the extra chew things you put in for them...Cool video!
I agree people should respect their rats and treat them well however you don't need to buy all the extra treat stuff provided you give them fresh fruit and vegetables.
have you ever thought about getting taller containers so they can have exercise wheels or something? ive been looking into breeders that have kinder setups for the mice and rats. im super new to this though lol. this seems like a great set up though!
I was wondering about that. I know cows have salt blocks maybe it's the same idea. I would think it would make them thirsty too but I don't know everything
@@blackdahliareptiles403 , mazuri and oxbow rat food already have enough salt. People don't have to buy salt licks. Other than that you have a better setup than most snake rat breeders👍
ALL those treats are BAD for rats tho. TOSS IT. Get them wooden bird toys to chew on for their teeth. If you want to spoil them. Scrambled eggs. NOT MUCH OR ALOT

What about deer antlers as chew toys?

I give mine fresh fruit and veggies every night and I love interacting with my colonies.
Old video but still relevant. I love all animals and treat my rats with love even though theyre feeders

Fruit is horrible for em

Salt makes you thirsty and dehydrates

Hey man have you had any problems with chewing through the tubs?
Not at all man! Ars are designed to prevent that
Hey, how do you decrease your humidity in your VE rack tubs? Mine hold too much humidity
You would need to increase air circulation in the room and/or melt holes in your plastic tubs
I need a fan that shoots air 70 feet. What make is it 🤣
Vornado man!
@@blackdahliareptiles403 thanks mate
Do they bite?
Spend $10 less And get some hps 3155. Also mazuri is known for tumors
I'll have to check that out
All rats are known for tumors, especially when accidentally inbreeding
salt makes everybody dehydrated though . Dasani water for example has salt in it. makes you want more water
You need salt to retain water...

Mazuri sucks. I use Tucker Milling
yeah and how does it suck exactly?
I want to hear about breeding not caring for the rats
Wgaf what you want Vanessa
I’m supposed to take advice from the guy who has holes in his unfinished drywall?
Yeah thats the rat room not overly concerned about the drywall lol. Wicked burn though... do you own your own house? Bet not lol
Wow 0 videos, what a creative person haha just being a lurker and posting negative shit on people's channels I see, what an original person 👏
You don't need all them treats.
Of course they don’t need that. But what’s wrong with making their lives happier?
You don't know shit
I like how you love your ratties I keep them as pets have done for years ❤🐀
