So Hades struck a rat right into his water bowl and was in there for a while making sure it was dead. then he dragged it out, went back in, and then repeated that again. after he finally got it away from the water bowl and stared eating there was some aspen bedding stuck on the mouse and i think he swallowed a bit. is this ok?

Also, what concerns me more, is that he started making a slight whistling noise every minute or two while breathing after, while trying to re adjust his jaw. he wasn't making the noise before, so is this just him trying to get the water out of his nose? or something to do with the swallowed aspen bedding? he's now curled up safe in his hide and isn't rubbing his jaw anymore. and i haven't heard any whistling for a bit. I just get kind of paranoid about things like this.
