So just to test out some of my corns, I picked up 2 live rat pinks and 2 pups. They were fed to four of my larger males that are aggressive eaters that know how to eat live prey. It was funny, you could almost see the confusion on their faces as they checked out the rats. All four corns didn't strike or coil like normal. They just put their mouth around the head and started swallowing them live.
