I was happy he was even interested! It took us a long time to get him to take anything, so was quite worried about putting him off! But he obviously really wanted the rat, he even came out of his hide to strike at it! Little champ! He's getting to be a good little feeder, I don't even have to wiggle it anymore! Lol. Thanks for the reply I've never really watched him eat as he doesn't come out of his hide far enough for me to see!
