ok guys my question is i fed my 25to30 inch female last night a small rat for the first time and she got it down ok. it was about the size of two of the mice she has been eating . she looked like a stuffed sausage afterwords. she went into shed last night without any warning no blue eyes or pink belly or anything it was kinda of immidiate , all in one night. as far as i can tell. was the rat to big? is this normal? after a big meal ? she seems fine just her normal self after eating. also i looked for mites and did not see any, and have never had any in the past.thanks for any input.the pcitur is her back in december.
