It took him a while to eat it, but he downed it just fine. The first time I gave him a big rat like that it took way longer. He'd been on jumbo mice and hadn't really been getting his jaws nice and stretched out. And it took him a while to find the head. It's something I need to watch out for, when I'm feeding him I need to make sure he bites down right on the rat's nose. If he takes it in the middle he'll usually spend 10+ minutes trying to find the right place to start swallowing.

The worst part about it is the craps, they're huge! Not too much fun to clean up.
