    Don't be surprised if he refuses food the next week. Think about giving him a 2 week break.

    just wanna throw is my 2 cents. If the store you get your rats from dosen't have what you need go to another store. sometimes you gotta skip a feeding if you can't get the food you need. its ok the snake isn't gonna die. i'm from long island too. where do you go to get your feeders?

    Same here the few times I bought feeders there they were way over priced. Luckily I've finally switch my one live eater over to frozen thawed. I never really got that warm and welcome feeling at D & J. Don't even get me started on their approach when I gave them the info on HR669 last year either.

    In his defense he has already stated that he doesnt intend to do so again so I think its a bit unneccesary for everyone to say the same thing over and over. He said he normally feeds small.....

    it shouldnt matter if its a year old or not. The size rat he fed was way to big and he could have hurt the snake. Better for people to see it then make the same mistake
