Behira ate tonight, and Katie helped me shoot it.
It's her first time on the camera and she did pretty well. I took over after Behira struck and both Katie and I edited the video. It's low light (hence using the prosumer 4K camera - however I shot in 1080P) and some of the footage is crappy. However, we did our best. We will try harder next time.
She did strike at the acrylic doors when I turned the key, but Katie was already zoomed in, so we didn't get that.
Notice Behira got a terrible strike and wrap on the rat and bit herself in the process. However, being the determined goofball she is, she wrapped the rat for ten minutes, teeth in her own neck/body the whole time.
She appears fine and no worse for the ware, but what a determined, food driven, maniac!
This was the biggest small rat I have in the open package now. 7 rats left and all are 60-70G. This one was 75G and I figured I'd give it a go. Feeding every two weeks and with her over 1,000G, I really want 80-90G minimum.
I will either switch to smaller mediums soon (100-110G or so), or see if my unopened package of small rats has more rats in her proper size range. I believe in slow growth, but don't want to underfeed her too much either.
