Am I stupid or what?

[twh]

I thought a picture would help. I hope I'm over reacting I'm not usually a spazz like this I just feel wicked guilty and hope I'm not doing him any harm. Thanks again guys.

Another question. As you'll see from the pic he's not in his enclosure I've fed him outside of his cage since day one so how should I proceed in moving him (if at all). Should I make that box his enclosure for at least 24 hours?

yes your overreacting a bit,but that shows you care.if he swallows the rat gently put him back in his cage,he will need the heat to digest the meal.have fun !
