This is his first shed with me so I wasn't sure if he'd take it, but it was actually his best feeding response yet! I think this is due to the fact that I left the thawed rat pup on top of his screen for about 15 minutes. The scent must have gotten him excited. Either that or the fact that this rat was the first from a different supplier. My first two that he had were from a local pet shop (not a big name chain store, but a large multi-species store nonetheless) and this one was from Canadian Mouseman
