Yeah, i feel terrible about the whole rat thing, i use to have rats as pets so it wasn't easy, i had a water bottle for him in this little tank i had for him but he just wasn't even taking it, through some cereal in, but i think my snake might have tagged him/her first time around when feeding, so i'm not entirely sure.

I will keep everything you have said in mind, i never knew that continuely trying to feed was stressful so i'm glad to know that! Thank you, and i'll get some supplies for the prey item as well.

thank you.
