    Over-precautious bite question
    My BP had a rat today and was overly eager in the attack, didn't wait til it faced him and when he went to let go after it was dead, the rat's two front teeth made an indentation on his head, looked like it wasn't good at first, but after 2-3 minutes (before he was even finished eating) it pretty much disappeared, didn't break the skin. Anything to be worried about?

    I wouldn't worry just keep an eye one it. But sounds like no big deal.

    I had this happen. The mouse was hanging off the bps face when he released. It didn't break the skin either but it sure did freak me out. :eek: He was fine and now I use the vinegar, baking soda euthanasia method. Works great!:D
