    Re: how do you to stun a rat?

    I'm going to agree with that, like most people say monitor them. I only stunn for ONE snake. My Burmese.. It will ONLY Hunt... -__-; which is annoying to say the least. He eats good, he just like to follow them into a corer near the water bowl and drown them. I personally don't like stunning the rats, nor do I think it's good, because 3/5 times (rough math from MY feedings, the rats get MORE aggression)

    and if you can, then get them switch over to F/T for larger foods. that's just my opinion though. I think it's safer..
