Maybe a pair of tweezers take the lager pieces off, and let this be a lessened learned.

As long as he doesn't it it too much he should be fine.

And now he's trying to eat it bum first... He drooled or whatever all over it and that's what made the substrate stick to it..

Re: eek! HELP!!!

Is this strange behavior a cause for concern?? The rat is soaked in saliva, and flattened from him chewing the crap out of it. He usually eats in 10 mins with no issue. I'm so confused..

Ok, that's what I figured, because he struck at himself, then quickly let go. He has the tail down now, and is quickly scarfing down the rat. Thanks so much for calming me down! I was really panicked for a while there. I guess he was just in a weird mood today....
