    Should I wait to feed? (Vet appointment)

    So I just took my little guy to the vet for a routine check up. Today is his feeding day however. Do you think it would be best to wait a day.or two before I try? I'm not sure how much it disturbed him putting him in a pillowcase and hauling him over to vet. Granted it only took maybe 40 minutes overall, but I'd rather not waste a rat if he would still be stressed from the little adventure. Any opinions appreciated.

    I would offer him, I don't think it could've stressed him too much

    If you're worried about wasting a feeder, wait a day or two. There's never any downside to waiting a couple of days.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.
