I don't keep rats as pets but I used to. That said, on more than one occasion, I will have rats left over from a feeding session and resulting refusals. I keep them in lab cages under Big Mama's tank, in the stand. I have not noticed any increases in feed response when I go to handle my snakes. In fact I really wish Big Mama would get more of a feed response but that has not happened even though she has rats living under her quite frequently. Of course, I don't handle these rats because they are not pets but are merely living on borrowed time for a week or two.
