Just Fed Monty a rat!

So today I bought some rats to feed to Monty, he's getting bigger and I thought it would be as good as time as any to switch to rats. So I do the normal routine that did with the mouse, but this think is much bigger than the mice i have tried. He struck at it several times, got it by the ear then let go, few minutes later he struck again and got it by the middle, then he started constricting it and i thought cool he finally got it! Then he tries to swallow it sideways hahah. He got it down eventually after the front legs went in his mouth he pretty much sucked it down! I'm so glad that he will now be eating rats since i have heard it can be difficult to switch sometimes. Hurray for me!

Brian

I witched to rats a few month ago and already you can see some changes. They’re growing faster and getting fatter (just more round). I wish I did it earlier.
