She ate !!

[Brandon.O]

YAY ! Rebel ate a nice big fat rat tonight .At first when i gave it to her she struck and missed, then she finally got ahold of it but got to wrapped up in her coils and couldent find the head, so she let go, unwrapped herself completly and found the head. She finally swallowed it.

So here are some pictures.

lol thanks !

what a fatso!

I think she could actually gain some more weight. She isnt all that thick for a 3 foot ball, even though she has a good girth on her now i would like her to get a little thicker.Hopefully the rats will do it, today was her first rat.She was previously fed only mice.

Is it true that maybe next time i try and feed her she will refuse becuase her body needs to get used to the change from mice to rats ??

Sorry i acidentally posted this in the general forum, can somebody please move it to the picture forum ??

Thanks !

two q's:

1. how long had she gone w/out feeding
2. what kind of rat (f/t? live?) and what method did u use to feed?

thanks,

i got her from a rescue a week ago and she was fed a few days before i got her.So it has been a week and about three days.

It was a F/T rat.I fed her in her tank becuase i dont have an extra feeding tank large enough for her.I did the whole " drop and nudge" thing. Worked like a charm
