I keep my rats in lab cages, I feed them Purina lab chow 5012 I buy at a feed store, The only way to keep the smell down is to clean the cages often I use pine shavings as a bedding I have heard to absolutely not use cedar shavings something about cedar can be toxic to snakes. You said you have 2 females so when one gets pregnate separate her and let her raise the babies alone, 2 females together will steal each others babies putting to much stress on the babies and you will loose some. leaveing 1 female with the male is fine as long as the cage is big enough
