Feeding rats in a breeding rack

[pretends2bnormal]

Will weaned rats be able to reach the food as well? Are the older ones able to chew through the metal if they go at it long enough?

Yes, they can. As the food is ground down and eaten, some small pieces fall through and pre-weaned and weaned rats will start on those pieces. My weaned rats are typically 70 to 90g, and reach no problem by 3 weeks, which is before I wean.

I've never heard of adults chewing through the metal. Plastic or wood is where people are generally concerned.

Get good stock to start that are not tub/cage chewers and you will not have an issue there either way.
