It is with a ton of embarrassment and hesitancy that I'm posting this..truly in an attempt to prevent this from happening to others and because an earlier thread asked about this:
I had a pair together for almost 4 mos. of equal size..both young adults w/the female maybe 10% larger overall. Well, she ate him! There was plenty of copulation though I think the male was operating on instinct at his small size. Regardless, this coincided w/me being out of rodents for not quite 2 weeks. They ate two adult mice or rat pups/week. Don't know if it was pure hunger etc. but like I said at the onset, it can happen to you!
Brutal, brutal lesson to have to learn the hard way! I now have 0.4 Mangroves to add insult to injury!
