SO new in this month of Louie n life is he has been a good eater EXCEPT he keeps TEARING HIS RATS UP beyond edible!!! And his ma is so grossed out from cleaning up disemboweled rats!!!! Haha... He's just too vicious ya know? He like, strikes it once which leaves a bite mark, then when he strikes it again, he pulls the skin right off the critter and guts go out or twice he would pull the rat so hard out of the tongs it would rip and guts would come out.... EEEEEEEEE. I just keep telling myself no matter how sicky it is, I am his care-giver and he is my everything so no matter how gross it is, I gotta take care of it and try again!! When I try to like, put the rat in his separate bin, then lower Louie into it, he doesn't seem interested in a still rat, he likes when they're wiggling from the tongs, then he goes for it. I'll figure something out, he last successfully ate April 5th, so about one month ago, but he hasn't been losing weight, he's gained 2 ounces since, so I'm not major worried. Just annoyed of rat guts!!!
