I originally wanted to try and take care of the rat, but my parents aren't willing to pay for anything and I currently do not have any money of my own since I'm only 16 and am still in school. It may seem odd to some, and it certainly seemed so to my dad, but I was very broken up and sad about what to do with the poor little baby, and I had no tools to kill it humanely. My parents suggested leaving it outside to die but I just couldn't do that. I didn't have the heart to snap it's neck, hit it against a counter or let it starve to death, and I honestly was very upset at this point, so my dad took it and disposed of it and didn't tell me how. I honestly don't want to know because while feeding it to my ball python who I love and want to eat so he can grow, just killing a living animal for nothing greatly upsets me. In the future I'm going to try and switch Eli over to pre-killed or f/t as quickly as possible so that I never have to go through this again. Thanks for all the support guys, I just didn't have the tools necessary to take care of the guy, and my parents weren't willing to help me out. Hopefully this never happens again.
