Well my boy's finally ate. Monty had not eaten since October, Cheetah since late December. I had just dropped the rats into their respective inclosures at 8pm to try another time to see if they would eat.. when out goes the power (bad storm outside, pouring..60mph winds..all the good stuff). I say &%$^(%#^ and blindly feel my way out of the snake room and to the living room to find a flash light. I make it back about 3 minutes later and shine the cages and Wah Lah.....both of them were coiled up around their future meal.
