I'm sure she'll get it down and you should may'be give her a little extra time b4 feeding her again if it is indeed a BIG meal.


On a side note, is anyone else finding it hard to find proper sized prey? I had to go to 4 different pet stores today to find an appropriate sized rat. I still couldn't find one, I had to get a small rat instead of a rat pup. I did find the smallest small rat there but it is annoying going all over the place looking for the right sized prey. I'm in Burlington, On. Canada.

Good Luck lioness I'm sure she'll get that big sucker down

thanks for the advice!
she finally got it down..and she's kept it down so far. i put her in her tank after the meal..and she's been in her warm hide ever since. i think she'll be fine. im just gunna give her about 10 days til her next meal.
