Yes, I wanted to give him a good 48 hours before I did anything that might disturb him. About a year ago (when I offered a rat pup for the 1st time), I left it there and came down the next morning to find it gone. I went on a 3 day vacation and came back and found it regurgitated so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. It was the worst smell as you can imagine!
