Today, like every Friday, is feeding day.

Onyx ate his two fuzzies without any problem whatsoever. It was practically like watching a fat person devour a buffet at Golden Corral.

However, something weird happened with the rat I was going to feed Atticus.

As I was getting ready to put the rat in the tub with Atticus, I was doing the whole "Come and get it" thing with the rat. However, this is about the time that the rat starting flailing like crazy. It then started to spin itself around (with me still holding it's tail) until finally, the piece of tail that I was holding just slid right off. Blood dripped everywhere, and the mouse acted like nothing happened. Atticus didn't seem to discouraged at first as I watched to make sure the rat didn't do anything to hurt her. But instead of trying to wrap the rat up, Atticus simply attempted to strike at it until eventually, she lost interest. I don't really know what happened between today and last week (last week, she had her first rat and she ate it like a champ). So I removed her from the tub and placed her back in her cage.

So yeah, that was weird.

My question is, should I just try and feed her the rat again later tonight or hold off until next week?

On a random note, I finally weighed her for the first time. She's a solid 535 grams. I'm a happy camper.
