    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 she should be eating large rats anyway so I feel better knowing nothing was wasted! Definitely skipping next week's meal, though

    For the past week we have been struggling to find this ATROCIOUS Smell in Our house and we are starting to believe its the wrappers from the rats.. they tried telling me I threw away a rat but I know better than to waste them like that 😂
