I'm sure this topic has come up many times but I just had to vent. I just fed my ball a rat, ate it up great. On my second rat, the rat had the heads up I think from scent and from the previous rat scream. The rat, instead of just throwing up the white flag decided to burrow in the opposite corner and avoid Aza at all costs. I finally pushed a little stick into the cage to get a rise from the rat, the rat moved then started a trench warfare-esque defense. no dice for Aza, was smart not to strike. I know not to feed Aza in her housing or to do it on woodchips due to possible digestion of the wood but yeah I tried it. From now on only on newspaper or reptile turf. some rats get all the luck. back at the pet store probably gloating. unbelievable. lol.
