    Should I offer more food?
    Ok, I need some expert opinions. Yesterday I fed Nugget after he came out of his shed cycle, and he was ravenous. I warmed up his food and he pounced on it, well the rat seemed to explode , he ate the big 2/3rds of it and when he un coiled and went to the warm hide, i cleaned up his bedding and tossed the leavings. Not an hour later he was searching the whole tank floor, and when i went to his door he telescoped his head up to the entrance, and he does this a lot when he is hungry. So my question is, Offer him another rat pup right away, wait till day 4, or just keep to his schedule. Before this meal he was in his humid hide for about 10 days and his last feeding was 13 days ago. Also, normally he is a verracious eater.

    I would wait. They can stay "foody" for quite a while after eating.
