Omg guys! First feed!

So the last time I tried to feed him was 3 days after I got him which was obviously a disaster, but it's been exactly a month and he ate for me yesterday! Im so overjoyed, he killed it right away but was confused how to eat it, it was so cute. I took a video just in case he ate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbOz7v56ngE

He caught it by the tail haha, congrats!

thanks :) And yeah I thought it was funny he caught it by the tail. There was also liquid coming out of the rat's mouth.. Is that normal?

NO! take the rat to the vet immediately!
oh wait, the snake just squished him to death and ate him.I wouldn't worry about it!

Sometimes you will get blood feces urine, it will happen just because its getting squished to death.

That was great,he must have been starving,he struck and he wasn't even out of the hide,lol..cool vid

A lot of mine strike from the hide. My boy eats every week and he comes out enough to grab the rat and dragged it into his hide to eat. My spider also struck from his hide last night. I didn't think that was unusual...

Yeah I was surprised at how fast he went for it, last time he seemed scared of the rat. He was fasting for 3 months and a half so he was happy to eat.

Mine will strike from their hides too. My adults get fed every 7 days and my babies every 5. Most of mine are just little piggies lol.
