So, um...it goes like this; I feed my snakes live (no access to f/t and my big girl won't even look at one anyways) and I buy from a little shop down the road. It's feeding day today and my babies fed wonderfully--but the big girl looked at the rat and then ignored her.

I think it's a her. >.>;; No big rat testicles so I assume a her.

She's probably ~200g annd...very friendly! But she's black with a white belly and usually they have white rats so that might be why. Anyways...the store's closed for the night so I can't take her back. I have her in an unused tub with a bowl of water, and I know they're omnivores and that bones are good to help with chewing, so I have some cooked, thin cut steak (not much) with bones for her to gnaw, some cut up carrots, and a slice of cut tomato...what else should I put in with her? Maybe some cereal like cheerios or that bran stuff?

I don't plan on keeping her longer than a day or two but I want to make sure I'm taking care of her properly while I have her.


Oh, I also suspect she's a dumbo...her ears are like twice the size most rats ears are; they stick out really far and are about the size of pennies. But then this is coming from someone who knows nothing about rats so I can't be sure. Anyways...um...thanks.
