Yeah sounds perfectly normal. Normally they like to do a silent but deadly, but sometimes you hear it.

Haha. Snake farts are one of the most surprising realities of life I've ever experienced. Dog hiccups are also quite high on the list

This reminds me of "an idiot abroad" lol. I think he's in Thailand or somewhere at a cobra place and one of the cobras farts lol. The guy who handles the cobras in it is missing a few fingers... crazy fool!!

You can feed as normal, noisy gut is nothing to worry about on its own for a slow digesting meat eater. Rat turns to liquid and gas when broken down by acid and enzymes.
