i just fed my little girl her first big mouse, we dont have rat pups here, and she took it with enthusiasm, but after that she was aggressive, is that normal?  |

| Maybe she was just hungry for more, what exactly do you mean by 'agressive'? - towards what? |

i dont think she was hungry for more, as the mouse i offered was a lot bigger than the 2 smaller
ones i use to offer, 'agressive' in a sense that she wont mind me walking or moving in the room
after a feed, but last night if i came in the room to see if she is ok she would curl her head
and neck in a S and keep watching me the whole time, she has never done this before |

oh and she didnt go in to any of her hides as usual, may the mouse have been too big?
were she feeling vulnerable cause of the big feed? |

| If the mouse is roughly as thick as the biggest part of the snake, or 10% - 15% of her bodyweight, it should not be too big. |

| They can feel a touch sensitive when they take a feed as they can't move as quick. OR, she was still in hunting mode. |
