I guess that is kinda what I do w/ the buckets. I mean I clean them out everyday that I have the mice for feces/urine and I do give them fresh water and feed them. You better believe that I wanna make sure those little "mouseburgers" are real nice and juicy whenever my snake decides she wants to eat.
