Cage was last clean cleaned a month ago. And I go light poop cleaning every other week. Water change with light clean.
She eats medium rats. Live, only. She will NOT eat frozen. And only brown rats. No white.
Feeding is every other week.
She is searching both day and night. Nonstop.
72 degrees is a bit low. the ambient should be 80F
