Strange behavior after eating

[CrazyAnimalLady]

I was watching Atticus eat tonight and after he swallowed his rat he started poking at it in his belly with his nose for a while and actually tried to bite himself. After a few more pokes with his nose he left himself alone. Think he was just looking for more and got confused?

Do you feed live or frozen/thawed

frozen/thawed

This is odd! Maybe the meal rubbed up against him and he still smelled it? Or, was the portion especially large this time and causing him discomfort?

[CrazyAnimalLady]

Smaller than his last two meals, just 10 percent of his weight, but he is a vigorous eater and still coils around his thawed meals before eating, that's why I'm thinking he smelled it on himself. Silly boy!

They can be real characters sometimes. ;-)

Snakesitter, I believe you are right.

My pit kept chasing her own tail looking for a dead rat. Then she bit herself. Sometimes they're weird.
