Just a quick question. Last night I fed my Boa a F/T rat. Merlin struck at it immediately and coiled around it for several minutes. I left him alone to eat in privacy as I know they can be finicjy when it comes to privacy and eating. Today when I looked in, the rat was still in the cage, uneaten. When I tried to remove it, Merlin got VERY defensive and immediately coiled around it again, not letting me take it from his cage. When i left for work he still hadn't eaten. Am I missing something here? I don't want to leave this rat in there very long, but now he won't let me take it out!
