Hi,

I agree it sounds more like it is still a little stressed.

The shedding will be simply part of the healing as mpkeelee said.

The strikes on the rat sound like defensive strikes rather than feeding strikes.

Since you have had to treat it for the burn would I be right in thinking it was never left alone without any interaction for a week or so to get used to its new surroundings?

Does it ever eat any of the F/T rats? Do you know what it was being fed before?
