I assist fed a pinkie rat about two weeks ago. Pinkies are about the length of his head so they are light snacks. Tried again this week with a young fuzzy rat and, although the shoulders were past his jaw hinge, he spit it out the moment I let go.

I should mention urates look normal, no labored breathing, good color in mouth and good tongue response. When he is out of the bin he will explore.
