so I had my pastel in a larger (like 35qt) tub when I got him 2 weeks ago and after some guidance wanted to size him down to something a bit more secure for him, so I got him a 16qt tub (18.0 x 12.6 x 7). I hooked everything up and put him and he seems to take well to it. I know balls feel secure in smaller spaces, but it seems like he really has nowhere to go. I thought I would ask for some advice here and shot a pic of him eating his first F/T meal.

Also, I bought a bag of frozen small rats and they seem very large for him. The store didn't have anything smaller (other than small fuzzies). It took a bit of playing with it in front of him but he finally took it after a bit and took it down. He has eaten 3 hoppers and this was his first F/T rat, but is this too big? The width was fine but I felt like it was pretty long. Just thought I would ask... Thanks!
