Need some reassurance
Okay so I had to feed Athena a smaller rat than what she is used to today due to the petstore being out of the usual ones. Well she took it no problem but then when she swallowed it she actually took it from the middle and doubled it over! Is this a problem? I was going to get some more feeders and feed her again in a few days, but now I am thinking I will wait till it is fully digested even though it was a small meal. I am afraid that it may cause digestive problems, please tell me I'm wrong.

Yep. I've had my bull take her food sideways, backwards, upside down...you name it. She's always looking for more. All my others eat fine. Well my one royal will turn his head upside down and eat. First time I saw that I thought he was having a seizure. Its just one of his quirks.
