This weekend I took the plunge and went for the small rat over the multiple mice. It looked GIANT next to my little man, and I thought I'd have to ditch the whole attempt. But he went for it, and though I was panicking the whole time, he successfully killed it. Then I worried if the rat would even fit in his mouth. I left him alone to begin eating and when I came back 15 minutes later the rat was gone. I know the best case scenario occurred (and I'm super proud of my little champ), but I was still panicked.

Does it ever get easier??? With the live mice, I never had a worry; Loki is a stealth predator. But these rats have me freaked out... I may have to think about attempting the switch to f/t even though he'll hate it so I stop panicking about a rat mauling my baby.
