Feeding problems and questions

dryad001 Nov 10, 2003 08:02 PM

Well went to go and snatch a gerbil from the feeder tank today and when i put it in it ran around for a while and then it started to nip at the snake. So I quickley got the gerbil out of there because the snake was trying to get away. Now back in the snake cage the snake finally picked up the scent and is going nuts. Should I risk putting the gerbil back in???

As for the questions. About 3 weeks ago it ate a gerbil just fine, no problems. But it hasn't done its doodie yet. Will snakes not eat until the other one has come out? LOL. Just asking, never had this problem before.

My snake will eat before it craps out the other. Mine has eaten 4 times and has taken 3 dumps. One was right after a shed and the other two came a couple days after she ate.
