So today is feeding day for my male max, he has never refused a meal except when hes in shed. But this time is different, he keeps looking around for the rat, finds it, then curls up when he touches it. He has snapped a couple of times, but never hit the thing, which is just weird in general, he usually never misses. I even put him in my feeding box and he still wont eat. He strikes every now and then, but not like he really wants it, I thought balls just curled up in defense? Looks like I am gonna have to store another rat and try again tomorrow...sound at all weird to anyone?

And one more note, the rat like exploded its a$$ all over the side of the tub, I have never smelled anything so foul in my life, it made me gag, could this be why Max is avoiding it? It smells worse then a newborns diaper...
