well i gave him a live gerbil last week it didnt stand a chance as soon as i put it in the cage he grabbed it. so yesturday i put a rat in there just to see and the rat didnt last long either yay. so today i went in there to let a person see him they wanted to see him eat so i put another rat in there with him and bam after a few miss strikes he grabbed it up and ate very well like he used to. i weighed them all and my biggest was at 1400 grams yesturday b4 feeding and after feeding 2 small-medium rats she is up to 1700+ grams. all of them ate 2 rats yesturday besides my male pastel he ate 2 small mice he is about 300 grams now a few more feedings then its breeding time for him with the bigger one of my 2 females since the one is still around `1300 grams so i am going to wait a little while for her.
