I recently acquired a 1.1 housed in a laboratory breeding cage and I just have a few questions.
1) I use pine shavings, pine pellets, and vanilla in the water to cut down on the smell. Is there anything else I could do to cut down the smell even further?
2) How noisy are rats? I have them in my bed room right now and so far they seem to like to move around at night which honestly isn't that big of a deal for me as I am a heavy sleeper anyway but I'm worried that it might be too loud for my brother who sleeps in the adjacent room.
3) What's the average ratio of female rats to snakes? I've heard 1 female per female snake but that seems a little over kill to me.
Thanks in advance!
