Ok, so, for the first time in all the time i've had him, bobo refuses to eat. As he is a health happy snake, this is not another 'oh no he isn't eating' thread, this is a 'what do I do with a live rat?'

As I only have two snakes, I have always bought my feeders at the pet store. i've never had a problem with getting bobo to eat, so I've never needed to worry about housing a live rat for more than a few hours. Personally i'm not to thrilled with the idea of keeping it around for a week to see if bobo will eat later. And Hadiya just entered shed, so i'm not going to try and offer her a rat when she can barely see.

besides not wanting a rat around, my cats have tried to eat the rat numerous times, and even gotten themselves stuck in the smaller tank where the rat is now trying to get it.
