faecal [poo] matter

[solar 17]

Just some observations and experimentation...l have noticed consistantly the volume by ratio of urates [the white part of droppings] poo ]in a friends snakes varies greatly to mine, so in the end lt got the better of me [the friend feeds pellets only] and water drippers] l feed fresh food twice daily and have a bowl of water in each rat cage, my friends gtps [chondros] always appear to be about to prolapse but never do [or that l am aware of] l do feed a particular diet to my rats for nutritional reasons [which are yet unproven but appear to work very well] so after suppling my friend for one month with rodents the urates decreased greatly and the snakes droppings [imo] improved quite dramatically and the droppings [poo] on the greens was an unbelievable improvement...so l am beginning to become curious lf some of these hard-core pellet- dripper [water] diet regimes aren,t responsible for a few down the health problems.....cheers solar 17 [Baden]

Baden, i to have noticed an improvement in all my snakes droppings since ive increased the diet of my rats. my snakes even look healthier. i guess snakes are like us, if we only had a fast food diet we become unhealthy. so by feeding quality healthy rodents to our snakes is causing them to be healthier. this is evident in the look of the snakes and their droppings

I know you have by far the best feeding and setup of rats I have every seen. I think it has more to do with the diet than the water drippers but. Also the way the greens are kept have alot to do with it I think.
