Yeah Zina. Here is an article about that issue https://www.uta.edu/news/releases/20...-intestine.php.
And yeah Deborah, think I'm going to just stick to mediums for Dottie. I tried a large and medium today and she wasn't hungry lol. I usually just use tongs and stick the rat in a hide she's in and she goes bonkers and grabs it and the whole hide shakes and slides around lol. Did it today and she didn't want anything. She poked her head out, looked around and moved over to the war, hide lol. Luckily Caesar eats in shed so he took it but it took a few tries as he is deep in blue so couldn't see his tail in front of his face haha.
Dottie is actually a pretty active BP at night. She climbs all over and generally shoves stuff around until morning, then she goes in a hide and sleeps all day.
