He never seemed to like rats, Sometimes he eats one, sometimes he leaves them. Takes mice like lightning though. He gets two large mice a week. He is growing like a weed. Sheds at every four to six weeks. Last time we tried to measure him with some string, the string came out to 4'11" He is a male, so he so he is probably within 20 percent of max length or so. I don't think he is being deprived.

His nose has not gotten better.

I have an appointment with another vet on Monday at 10:20 am eastern.

Going ask the vet about the injections mentioned above.

Thanks all for the responses
