is Raising feeder mice for you?

[brain]

i tried water bowls when i first started keeping feeder mice and rats (cheaper to buy by bulk) and it doesnt work. all the mice/rats would walk thru the bowl and pack it with bedding.

so now i use cheap water bottles found at walmart and havent had a problem yet, the female rat has chewd thru the plastic holder but i fixed that by hanging the bottle from the screen top with steel wire

I had to get a glass water bottle because the rats chewed hole in he bottle. I also throw in the cage a plastic Tums container and a stick of wood. It seems to help with the need to chew.

try poster mailing tubes also
it's a really hard thick cardboard which takes them a while to demolish, and they like to nest in the tunnels
I've gotten good at sawing up the longer pieces

Oh Shanley, They will not be snake food, Probably breeding stock for more of the same. They sell better at the pet store.

One looks like it's thumb sucking.
