First rat!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I just got home with a small frozen rat....my ball has been eating adult mice for a few weeks now....
Are you sure he'll take this rat? It seems pretty darn big...
I keep reading balls can take it, but DAMN!
Please let me know your thoughts...

small rats can vary in size man.
How big is the rat compared to the adult mice you been feeding?

the rat is over twice the size.....but he was taking the mouse with no problem....
the bag says they average 40g....whereas the mouse was 19g...
I think he can take it, I'm just worried about him getting it in his mouth...

He'll get it in his mouth no problem. Just might have to stretch out the inter feeding period abit.

Well, that's one fat snake...
Man I wish I had had a camera for this one...
Maybe next time!
So, anyone worried about your 2ft ball taking a 40g rat....no problem!

It was a pretty damn big rat!
And he spent a while trying to eat it sideways...
But he's a trooper!
