hungry? why wait?

My ball didn't eat for about a month and some days... today she downed two mice AND a small rat (a first). I figured id see what happened if I warmed a pair of mice with the rat and offered all three at once.

Anyone want to place bets as to weather or not she will eat another rat next week?

Don't you love it when you have to decide between defrosting one mouse to see if it will eat, or defrosting a few mice so that if it does eat, you have more food ready?

And then, if you only defrost one, and it eats, you need to go defrost more and hope those will be eaten too.
