:So i was feeding one of my girls today. Im upping the size of her food to a x-small rat because she has out grown the mice. Well i was holding it by the tail because the past few attempts the rats have just ran into her hide and sat on top of her, which ends up scaring her and we have to wait another 5 days and by then they are to big for her. So she seemed to be interested and i think the rat saw her and started to freak out and in one fast motion it jerked and ripped the last 1/8 inch of its tail off and left it in my had. Well it started to bleed and of-course it ran into the hide and sat on her and we are back at where we started.
I was worried that it might be in pain so i dropped it in with one of my males that i knew never turns down a meal, and he took it the second it hit the ground.
But this kind of caught me off guard for a second. Has this happen to anyone else?
