Sometimes, after I feed my '03 female, she'll sit outside of her hide after eating, for a good half hour or more, with her head remaining in the striking position. It appears that she is expecting another prey item to drop in. Do you think she is still craving more prey? I feed her a good-sized rat weanling each week, and she is growing nicely. But do you think that she is still feeling hungry and maybe craving another rat?
None of my other Bps do this; they retreat comfortably into a hidespot after feeding. But she seems to be looking for something more.
Here's a piccy of her just after eating, seemingly saying "is THAT it?"
