Does anybody else here notice that when feeding rat pinkys, it takes them a very long time to accept it as "dead already"? I have fed my babys both mice hoppers and rat pinkys but for some reason they squezze the rats for like 10 minutes before deciding that it is dead and they can move on to the next step. The mice always go down quick. Is there something about the texture or body temp of the rat that makes them do this? Or is it just me? Thanks
