Good question. I've been breeding my rhinos for the past 5-6 years and have raised many babies. My theory is that while the juveniles may start their lives feeding on fish they eventually move to rodents or birds in the wild. As they undergo their ontogentic color change from grey to green they most likely move from the shores to the trees I believe they change feeding habits as well.



I do believe however that most arboreal snakes are not meant to be bulky of overfed. Thus is the dilemna witht the rhyno rats. They have such great appetites that they will gorge themselves if allowed. I do not believe this to be heatlhy for this species.



Just my two cents on the subject....
