At a year, what size rat pups are you giving? What is their weight?
The temp gets to 80 during the day, dips to 75 at night. I raise humidity when he is "in blue" and stays in the hot hide.
According to PerfectPrey chart, their rat pups are 20-29g. I am power-feeding him till the end of this year, he will eat weaned rats (30-50g) once a week after that. I got him at 8 m weighting only 155g so he is a "catching up" mode.
