I feed outside the enclosure sometimes i try and mix it up. I mostly feed in a sweater box and while jojo is eating and swallowing i clean and disinfect his main enclosure then when i move him back its nice and clean for him. I have fed in his enclosure in the past with hides and everything. He will come out of his hide when i dangle the rat in his sterilite and he takes care of the rest. I think him having to sneak around objects stimulates the mind.
