Re: She finally gobbled down her for first rat

Yes I flushed down some rats she wouldn't take.
When she was younger I didn't stray too far off her feeding schedule, but as they grow I started to offer rats again when the feeding response was strong enough that she would strike at me. When she finally figured out that the rat was food and gently opened her mouth around the rat I wiggled it to make her fight for it, the constrict instinct kicked in and down it went.
