What's up YouTube? Showing y'all today my little rodent setup. My rodent feeder setup. This is how I feed all my snakes right here. Uh, I don't know how many toes I got. I mean, I could count if I want to. I don't know how many times I got it, but these are all my breeders over here besides this one. This one, um, Ben, this is for my wings. So once I have wings, I put them in here, let them grow up for about a week, two weeks, and I'll throw them into the racks. I separated male by female. I got some males on top right now, some females on the bottom. So, yeah, this is, uh, basically how I do things over here.
Um, so what I'm trying to do, as you can see, I got two different size bins. I only got two of the smaller ones. These are the first bins I got when I first started decided that I wanted to breed in my own rodent food. So on this one, as you can see, I got a 1.3. Most of all these other ones are all wrong. Like, all these other ones for the most part are all wrong, but this one's right. This one is a 1.3. So I got some, uh, young ones in here tonight ready to breed yet, but hopefully in the next couple months they'll be able to. Everything I breed is I can solve for this. I don't feed my snakes anything else, just African soft furs. I like the weight that they put on the snakes, and I also like, um, that they don't smell. I like that they could all breed together. You don't gotta take the males out or anything like that. They help each other with the babies. On the bigger tubs, so these bigger tubs up here, all the other ones are compared tubs. Those ones I keep a 1.5. So that's a 1.5. And this is when they got put in, which really, I didn't need that date. I need the date from the first litter that they produce. So after about six months or something like that, I can, uh, swap them out. Six months to a year, I don't know what I'm gonna do yet. I'm gonna swap them out. Here goes a little darker group. I like to do a little color variation, so I ain't just producing all the same thing. There's my dark root 1.5 in there. I'm ready to breed yet. Another 1.5. New 1.5. I mixed it up with the little white one in there, just to see what, you know, what happens. So that's pretty cool. And then this is the same thing, 1.5. Some young ones, 1.5. Some young ones. And then here I got some big ones. Got one right there, two right there. I don't want to get bit. They don't know if they be trying to bite me or not, but I ain't chasing it at all. I try to give them something to chew on. They seem to like that. Um, all these big ones, all these big ones, every single big one I want to do, I'm gonna do a 1.5. Every single one. Right now, it's all different types, like some just got just females that are pregnant. That once they drop the babies, I'm gonna grow, you know, however many females I need, two to make it five and then one male. And then, yeah, the only ones that has babies so far are right now. See, you got like the, uh, was it this one? I think it was. I don't remember. We got something that's pregnant that has no male. Wait, is the baby? I don't really like to disturb for girls. Doesn't do what they do. I had a good look. You know, they was having babies back to back to back to back. And then I ran into a little incident. Has a lot of problems. Some happened then. So now I'm thinking they're restarting all over again. I mean, I was producing babies left and right, but then recently I, uh, haven't really been producing them. So now I'm just getting it back right now. I changed some stuff, changed the food, the other stuff that I had going on. So now I'm able to really be on top of everything. So that's good. And I had to go buy some babies because I wasn't producing under some wings. These are some of these are from a litter that I produced, but most of them I bought. Some babies or some yellow ones. I built this rack myself, actually. It's not the best. It's not the best at all, but yeah, it works. You see like right here, it's a big old gap. So I gotta put a little piece of cardboard up under there to keep it held up.
[Music]
You hear me? There goes some more. It's only a little youngins, trying to grow them up. I might have to end up getting some more from, uh, from one of my. Replace all these African soft furs. Every single one I got from her. So I'm probably gonna have to go get some more. She was doing a deal where it's 50% off. She charges two dollars for the wings, and it was 50% off. So I'll try to get as many as I could get. But the most like that she would let me get was 50, 15. So 50 or 50 wins. Can you beat that? I really need 50 more until they start producing. So at least they're producing. So very again to where I don't have to buy anything. Said no. My plan is to actually start breed to feed all my snakes, and then I also breed to a sales so that I don't have to buy food. You feel me? I don't have to buy bedding or anything else. I used to keep them alive, running, and producing. You feel me? Say, yeah, that's that. That's that. I'm actually not breeding in the stores. I'm doing this in the storage. You know, we gotta come out here, grind you for real, trying to do this, man. Get any doing it how we got to. Can you help me live?
So this is the full guy feeder. And when I tell you when I switch to this food, man, they started, man. This is the best food right here. That's what I'm gonna say. Really like crazy. Not, you know, trying to kill these babies. They, man, don't kill no babies off that food. And then once a week, I put the list. I'll try to do a mix. I ran out of sunflower seeds, so this is my last batch right here. I mean, that sounds like seasons, the mealworms. You see, I try to mix the midworms because sunflower seeds. We're gonna just put it, put a little bit in each, uh, thing, each little container. Sometimes if I'm feeling, if I'm feeling nice, I'll give someone to just straight something for that seeds to the, uh, to the audience family. So that's that. They go back something for her seeds. They go through that food like crazy. So I need to start breeding so I can sell them so they could buy their own food. And then this is what I use for the bedding. Right now, right now I got the big chunks. Look at the big chunks. I'm thinking about changing into the smaller shavings. That's what I use. And then this right here, mandatory. You got to use this. It helps with, you know, and so that they're pooping, pee isn't stuck to the actual, um, to the actual container. Make sure that the poop and peeing stuff to containers without hooks with that. And also just to smell overall. And I gotta use this as well. Gotta use this. This helps a lot. You know, the older ammonia, you know, that it helps like a ten for what I'm talking about. When we ran out of this and we can't use it, it's a night and day difference. So we try to keep that on stock. Both of those on stock. And yeah, we clean every two weeks. Clean every two weeks. It doesn't get that bad until like the second week. So that's when we clean. The smell isn't absolutely horrible, but you know, you got this when you wrote it and say, hey, you're gonna definitely smell something. So he's got to make sure you keep up with that stuff. And, uh, what else? What else? What else? Really, that's it. That's it. So, yeah, that's that's what we're doing. These are the water bottles that I'm using. Eventually, I want to get two for each one because, you know, these ones got, uh, let me see how to see if the bigger ones got the ones where you can use the, we could have two, two water bottles. So that's what I plan on doing. Maybe I'm gonna come up here multiple times a week to make sure everything. Twice a week, three times a week to make sure that they still got water. They food last through a whole week. They good on the food. So if I put two, well, if I put two, I already know I'm gonna let them be able to come up here once a week to make to refill. They watching. And in the second week, just change everything. Um, yeah, that's damn. That's damn. Which I think is there anything else? Yeah, I like them a lot. Oh, yeah, and that's something else I'd be seeing how I follow this African soft fur Facebook group, and I've seen them as like, can they chew out of stuff like this? And I actually, when I first got them, a lot of people were saying they don't like to use these because they're too loud or whatever. And I've never had. I've been having these for months now, a couple months. I've been having these for a couple months. I don't have any choose anything. They cannot get through. And they also say use the smaller ones because the bigger ones aren't the lids aren't made like the smaller. All right, the smaller lids aren't made like the bigger lids. So they say use the smaller ones, but the bigger ones, even never try to or never got any bite marks. They can't. There's no way that they could reach start instrument or anything like that. So that's what we gravy online. He look, and he even be lifted a little bit, you feel me? It ain't completely fast. A little lifted. They never too, you feel me? These things just like I love these little things. Ladies with things make it super easy. Just get you a little right, you're feeling a little plastic rack, metal rack, whatever you prefer. Dang, get you some tubs, throw your toes on there. Eventually, when I get out of here, when I get out of this, uh, like I said, I'm in a, I'm in a storage. So once I get out of storage, once I get my own crib or whatever, or once I get like a, hey, what is it called? A shed. Yeah, once I give me a shed, they move all those these over to the shed. Make me put me a watering system and I'm good. Put the line stew so that they just got the good watering system. You know, you fill that up, make sure they take food is up to part. Oh, yeah, and another thing that I do. This is another thing that helps a lot. It helps a lot. So you see like when it's like this, man, they just pull the food through unless y'all feed them bigger food. And these, this is a bigger size dog food too. So when I say I'm feeling like Missouri success or like the cow cat, I forgot what's called from Chewy, if you think something like that, you might not have to do this, but they just be pulling this food through so fast like it'd be wasting so much money. So I seen this dude on YouTube, actually, is where I got it from. So what I do is, boom, so look, damn, that's that. Just filled up their food. So I wish I put a left one. See, I don't know if you have to tell you. I probably can, but I put, uh, I don't know what this is. It's not happening. What is it? A quarter inch or something like that. I put the little quarter ring. So a lot of them got zip ties. The other one, I just tied with like wire, tied it all through. And even put a little hole in this, tied it to the bar so it don't move. Some of them though, I think the ones with the zip ties, they chewed off. Oh, look how fast she is. Yeah, she's gonna pop. My girl, we calling them big ones, big burgers. Every time she went. Oh, yeah, you can tell that's a big birthday daughter. But yeah, that's what I did. And then I also, uh, put like some hat. I cut into like a half inch. Some I cut it into like a couple of half inch holes. And low-key, sometimes I'll be wishing I didn't custom holes, but at the same time, I don't know if they'll be able to get the food if I didn't. She likes a little bit better right here. And that helps a time with them not pulling out as much food through. The only reason I can do it with this one is because it's the wings. I want to make sure that they're able to get to their food, man. That's what we doing. So I'm actually about to pull out six wings to feed tomorrow, uh, some of my smaller snakes. Let me see that they fed. And that's that. Look at that little color back there. That look cooler, hard, ain't he? Yeah, yeah, I got that. You ain't got that. Yeah, I'm gonna be producing those. When I do, y'all gotta make sure y'all shot with me, man. That's what I'm doing. But yeah, yeah, I hope y'all, uh, like my list setup. If y'all see anything I could do better, you know, let me know. I like advice. I take all advice. Take you to consideration for sure. I'm always trying to upgrade, do things better. If there is a better way. And also, once, uh, they start breeding like how they was, I'm gonna start tracking them to see, you know, what's going on. A lot of people don't do this, but your family gonna say track. Now, we ain't got. I'm gonna throw these away though, because this is checking them, how you feel me? But yeah, I'll cheat this like, like someone like a real thing. This is part of my business, so I treat it seriously. A lot of people don't do all the tracking, that's too much work. But man, I need to know the inventory. I need to know the production. I need to know who's doing what, who ain't. If I need to swap somebody, yo, if I swap, like, no, it's freedom to my sneeze and put some freshness in, you know? So I track everything. How many babies they got? How many babies they got the next week to see how many they chewed. If I got it or eight or whatever. So yeah, that's what I swear. That's what I'll be doing, man. I'll be tracking my. Man, do y'all be tracking y'all stuff or am I the only one? I do that. I don't think a lot of people be checking. They just track the dates. I am taking one in the dates, man. You need to see what the production was like, man. But yeah, that's my setup. I hope y'all comment, like, and subscribe. Um, I plan on doing more videos, more often, more videos of my snakes. I got some snakes to show y'all, some new ones that I got. I want to show y'all how big my the other ones got from the previous videos. It's all day. So yeah, just stay tuned, man. Stay tuned with me. Plan on interacting with y'all. You know, follow my Instagram, High Caliber Reptiles. I'm gonna, uh, start posting on there a whole lot more. And yeah, man, so this is part of High Caliber Reptiles. All right, man. Deuces.
