    Is a little extra safe?
    I thawed out 3 small rats and expected Eden to eat them all but I had to help her get Aspen out of her mouth and now she doesn't want them. Sterling already had 2 rat pups but he is begging and striking the side of the tub like he wants one of the smalls...he's about 400-450g..would it be okay to feed him one or would it be too much?

    If he's already had 2 pups, I'd say he's probably had plenty for this go around. Tossing him the small rat will likely only lead to more poop - not necessarily more actual nutrition.

    Damn, LOL. Well, good news is, Eden ate a second one for me, but bad news is Boots tried to eat My hand for the third ... and then DIDN'T eat it

    Yes I definitely need them! Thank goodness Eden is a garbage disposal and ate the third rat as well[emoji23] she should be eating large rats anyway so I feel better knowing nothing was wasted! Definitely skipping next week's meal, though
