I'm just worried it will bite him. I always thought there was a "right" way - grab its head and constrict. That's at least what most of the ones in the YouTube Videos do
oh ok. i dont think mine have ever grabbed the head. I've not had any issues with the rats biting them yet. but i also sit right there with tongs in hand, ready to grab the rat at first site of the rat trying to attack my babies.
