My hog that I got from Kara at NERD is a bit high strung at feeding time. I always feed him last and leave him alone to eat (he eats in his enclosure). Normally after striking and coiling, he then lets the rat go and looks around to make sure no one is watching. One time he saw me across the room and struck the plastic. She did tell me he had a Retic feeding response and its no lie. Outside of feeding time, he is as sweet as can be!
