Thanks! Oh yeah, he is plenty healthy to miss a meal for a couple weeks
I'm just a little concerned putting a live rat in the feeding box with the snake.....I could try knocking it out before feeding it to him. (Don't know if people think that is inhumane or not)
I'll deff be doing some more research on this subject. I appreciate your help!
Actually rats are far less aggressive tan mice and a rat pup (which is the size of an adult mouse) will not pose any threat, once used to the rat up the size as needed.
Another little advice if you use a feeding box try feeding directly in the enclosure.
