You may not have to buy rats for awhile.
Always learning new things about this species. Meanwhile, one of my two females has yet to miss a meal. The other is still rather young and we're dealing with mites so her appetite is hit or miss. I'm all for not having to buy more food for a while. His tub is right where it should be and ambient is holding steady as well so it must be the time of the year.

Thanks!
