Well last week when it was feeding day my boy was in shed, but still acting hungry so I fed him a small to medium rat. He got a bad hold on it and it bit him on the face. He was curled up around it in a way that I couldn't see the head of the rat until he was done constricting it. There was some blood and it got him on the left side of his jaw. I felt horrible, but he shed good a couple of days later and seemed back to his normal self. Well today was feeding day again and he bite the rat before it even touched the floor of his cage and once again was holding in a way that I couldn't see, and sure enough this rat bit him too, in the same spot. He ate the rat, but understandably seems a bit uncomfortable around his face. So the question is, do I do anything, bleeding stopped pretty quick, but it is a noticable bite, he is rubbing his face on that side a bit. But since he just ate the rat, should I still leave him be for 48 hours, or do I need to do something about the wound now? He has eaten rats this size before and always managed to get it at a good angle where the rat couldn't bite him. Thanks everyone for the advice
