Ya know, it becomes a real strategy game about making sure you've got garbage disposal's feeders for backup and all. I throw some out now and then but relative to what I feed it's a small percentage. Probably helps with more snakes.

Then add ants and see what happens! Love the summer when the ground drys out. Nothing like leaving a rat in the cage and coming back an hour later to find it black with ants!

Of course the ants sometimes go for fresh shed...that makes an horrific mess as they mince the skin. So in order to remove it you have to dump the whole substrate (as the whole tank/tub is crawling with the evil freakers.
