So, Hades seems to like rats and tilapia more than any other food items I offer, he loves them. How often can I safely offer him rats?

I would only do so every so often. Maybe once a week at most. If you can give him extra cod liver oil it will help ensure that he doesn't get impacted with rat fur. Try mixing his favorite foods with other good stuff to wean him off the not-so-good stuff

I'm gonna piggy back on your post :) What about hairless rats? I have a few that I breed, and a good stockpile in my freezer. Since there's no risk of impacting due to hair, I could offer pretty regularly right? Not that I've gotten my girl to eat rats yet lol.

I feed mice and rats at EVERY SINGLE feeding, they will not get impacted from fur if your temps are right and you keep you husbandry on track
