Problem? Unexpected late feed
So I fed my BPs f/t rats last night and both females didn't eat, as of this morning.
Didn't get a chance to pull the rats out of the cages this morning, rushed out of the house, and just got home to find one missing.
So from what I can tell, one of them decided to eat a rat that had been sitting there at normal cage temperature unmoving, presumably starting to decompose, all night and most of today.
I assume she'll be fine because hey, why would she eat it if it wasn't appealing? But this strikes me as very unusual.
Has this happened to anybody before? Should I be concerned?
I looked around her cage to make sure she didn't just move it, and unless it came back to life and made a clean escape, it's inside her belly now.
