i know he doesnt have any in the back,its a pet store that is basicly one room with a bathroom and a room where he keeps extra cages and you can see inside that room.And plus i have asked him.the only pet store that i know carries them is 1 hour away and there is no way my mom is goin to drive me that far every week for a rat.He gets the adult rats from breeders here in town and i am going to ask him for their number soon.
I know he couldent swallow it sideways but he did try to swallow it backwards and somthin happened to the mouses leg (i think i broke it when i whacked it) and he coudlent swallow it so after touching the head of the mouse and moving it slighty the motion attracted him to the head and he eventually got the point and got that sucker down.
