Today was feeding day (one day early this week), and I gave Mona a live medium rat - which she will usually take in a heartbeat. But this time something went wrong during the strike, and the rat ended up getting stuck under her bowl. It was very dead, but after struggling to get it loose, she gave up and went back into hiding. A little later I went to check on her, discovered the situation, and removed the rat from under the bowl... at that time I also found a GIANT poop, so time for an impromptu cage cleaning!

Okay... now the tub is clean, the rat is un-stuck, and I laid it back down in hopes she'd eat it. She has NEVER accepted F/T since I've had her, so I'm guessing this feeding is a wash? Should I remove it now, or leave it in overnight? And if she doesn't eat it, should I get another rat tomorrow or wait a week? She's never a problem feeder with live, so she's not stressed out or anything (actually being rather friendly). TIA!

P.S. On a good note... Toby and Delilah each ate 2 adult mice, despite both being in full shed (blue).
