Good point about substrate with smaller bits !!Originally Posted by iddah
Jungle Earth is a bit chunkier, smaller chips are Coconut Terrain, hopefully not too big to cause issues if he happens to swallow a one or two of those along with his rat?
I'm still buying the plastic tub, if not for the feeds, then for substrate storage, I did have the the intention to just feed him into his tank until I started reading about separate feeding tubs and watching videos and seeing how that worked for a lot of bp's. I'm not gonna thaw my rats directly in water, I'm putting it in a self seal plastic bag and then into a tupperware container and fill that with warm water so it won't be as soaked as it would be if defrosted into water, and I'll dry the rat off really well. I think it's probable he'll drag the prey item off into one of his hides or smth so in the end I guess there isn't much I can do.
I use the orchid bark and choose the FINE option as they're very small pieces and should go through the system easily enough ..
While we're on that subject ... I'm sure I read somewhere that snakes can digest fur/ feathers and bone they can NOT digest WOOD ?!?
Anyone know the facts regarding snakes and digest wood ??
