Zeus is in a stearlite 1970? w/the two snap closures on the ends. Temps are 84/94 and he uses his hides regularly.

Rob said he went on a fast last fall, and other than a "medium" sort of rat, he hasn't eaten for 3 months. He'd much rather come OUT and explore every time I feed, whether it be at night, during the day, put the rat in front of his nose, leave it on the hot side, cover him up w/a dark towel, leave him uncovered.

The last time he ate, it was a smaller than normal rat (see above), left in the bedding on the hot side, and his tub was covered for about an hour. When I came back, the rat was gone.

Question is...I just got a 3 tub rack from Steve (SPJ) and they're 30 qt. tubs. Would that be big enough for Zeus? He's weighed in @ 1940g (down 20g) since the prev. weigh-in a month ago. If I use 'em, there won't be enough room for hides, snake AND water bowl, so it would be just snake and water bowl.

I'm thinking of moving Freddie out too, into the 3rd tub, since he's fasting as well.

I know they like smaller, but is 30qt TOO small???

It could just be, like w/Rob, the fast will end w/the warmer weather. This is the first winter I've had both of these guys. *sigh*

Thanks for the feedback.
