 I am so so happy
Grace struck almost straight away and remained constricted for about 15mins, (i don`t think she wanted it to get away). She was hardly moving and I was starting to get worried, but then she started moving to get in position to eat.
She started at the tail end first but eventually moved to the head.
It took about 45 mins in total.
I was willing her to eat it. I even praised her afterwards 
Well one down and many many more to go |

Grace had a `fuzzy` rat. She loved it.
Yes it`s amazing how they manage to eat them negotiating the legs.
I am going to weigh her tomorrow and start to keep a proper log/diary. |

I've been worried before because my Sid has been constricted for so long but he always starts moving eventually lol.
Completely different to my Corn who just wolfs it down lol. |

Hi Mulv,
yes when she did not move for sometime I was starting to wonder what was wrong. I looked at my watch and it was 10 mins since she struck and it then took her another 5min to start moving. Worth the wait though.
Just hope she continues to feed. Cannot see why not though. |
