ok so my spider girl has been eating small stunned rats. (she likes to attack right as they start to come to). but if i leave her tub open she will ignore the rat and try to come out so i typically have been closing her up and checking every few min while sitting near by. i checked yesterday and she had wrapped it but when i touched the tub she unwrapped and let go of it. so i closed her up noting that the rat was still breathing and hopeing she wouldn't shy away from it totally. when i checked again she was trying to eat it but i noticed it was still breathing so i opened the cage up and put part of her lower 1/2 around the rat and she constricted up on it.
my question is was i wrong to take this last step? my fear was that she would have the rat live in her and even if its just a spasm it could damage her mouth or throat.
