nearly all four of my royals seem to aim for the end of the tongs when they strike, resulting sometimes in the need for a second strike.
I normally use the tongs to hold onto the knee area of the rats rear legs.
Anyone else have this? |

| Could be your tongs are warmer then the food so they are picking up on that heat |

I've known Shahi and Shiva do this. I use very long tongs but I've sometimes wondered if they still sense the heat of my hand, even though I've heated the rat's nose up so well that I'm afraid it'll burn their mouths ...
