David EATS Goliath! (video)
I finally got a good video of Irwin eating! I had to mount a camera to the inside of his cage and wait an hour to retrieve it but it was worth it. I know there are lots of feeding vids out there, but i think this might be a pretty good one (its a musical!) Just to recap what it says in the description; Irwin is not a baby, he's a 2 year old dwarf. His breeder prescribed small rats, which (to me) look insanely huge next to him. Before his first feeding i took pics of the rat and texted them to her to make sure i didn't misunderstand. She said he would be fine and indeed he was! As some of you know i'm quite new to snake keeping, so tell me, is this an unusually large rat for his size? I mean he's been eating them for a couple of months now so i'm not actually worried about his health, but i'm just trying to gain better insight into the hobby.
Also, my new favorite home movie of my 3 and a half year old son holding Irwin all by himself at the end for those of you who are suckers for cute kids (as i am)
here's the YOUTUBE link - i am linking it rather than embedding it in the thread b/c i like to see the "views" counter climb
