And second after that, since they were crawlers, and the same size as the mice he was fed before...

I'm thrilled he ate the rats, hopefully it continues, with the same quick, responce (2nd rat I liken to "OMG WHY HAS YOU KEPT THESE THINGS FROM ME?!", even though I know he doesn't think that way), and we'll gradually move them up in size until he's on 1 every 7 to 10 days.

But.. I'm pretty sure I just watched him eat the 2nd rat alive... Either I heard the thing squeak and watched it open and close its mouth right before he finished swallowing (he ate it backwards...) OR I'm completely imagining it. I really hope I was imagining it...
