Great video, I have a bunch of glass tanks lying around, instead of building a new rack, just use what I already have, it's been working pretty well for you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the information on the rats and mice I am going to start my own breeding rodents I am new to your channel can’t wait to see what comes in the future thank you again.
Thanks for showing the grow out tanks! I have a few extra 10 gallon aquariums from before I got my snake rack. What do you think about using chicken wire to make a floating feed cage?
Good video. I’m looking at the rat breeding tubs - what size do you use? They have the regular size (18.25”x12”x6.25) and the Extra Large size (21.5”x15.5”x8.5”)
Not all Male rats will fight if your putting them together. I have 4 breeder males that are apart for a few weeks during breeding and then live together for months while the babies are growing and females are resting. I dont take the males out due to eating babies I do it to give my females time to raise the babies and recoup from the pregnancy and raising of the young. It prolongs the breeding life of the females. For some reason mice are just fighters and as you said will fight to the death even males that have never had a chance to breed will fight.
You want to get kiln-dried shavings as those are safe for the rodents and the snakes who will eat them. Kiln-drying the pine reduces the moisture content to 19% or less, which reduces the phenols, bacteria, mold spores and any insects/unwanted tiny critters that could be lurking in the wood. Most bedding made from shavings is kiln dried but always check the label to be 100% certain as there are some that are just heat treated and that leaves more phenols in the wood.

Just the regular size. The XL honestly aren’t much bigger.
Great Video!!!!!🎉
Super helpful!! Thank you so much
Getting ready to order those same tubs for my asf. Do you have any issues with the babies reaching the food and water in the rat lab tub?
None at all
Sorry, one more question.
If you remember, are the asf in the rat tub or the xl rat tub?
@@ChrisBurnsReptiles you can do either one. I personally used the large rat tubs for a trio.
Im torn between getting the 8 pack of rat cages from LLLreptiles/ReptileBasics, or should I just build a wooden DIY rack. Any guidance?
The 8 pack cages are definitely worth it and you will never have to worry about anyone escaping.
do you have a video when they eat with that rack ? cause the kibble is suspend by the rack, how they can eat ?
They eat the Mazuri 6F Rodent Block through the wire and trust me they eat a lot of it lol
@@btsradicalboasandpythons do u have the video man, i still cant imagine, did the use their hands ? how tall they can grab ?
@@btsradicalboasandpythons excelente video como crías los ratones para alimentar tus serpientes, una pareja se reproduce allí?
@@jack-vd6hs I’m sorry my friend but I only know English. Thank you for your comment and support.
There so cute
Thanks for the información, very good tips. Your ASFs look very tamed
They are very tame. Thanks for watching.

One of the rat looks like an opossum.
I thought pine shaving was toxic if you plan of feeding them to snake... Whats your experience with it?
Untreated pine shavings are toxic
