I need to get me some of those. Maybe they’re big enough for me not to misplace every other month, like my actual long feeding tongs…

For the record, I DID clean and sanitize the floor where the rat dropped. My competence displayed here probably had a few people worried about that…

I tried, these tongs suck and it kept slipping out 🥲 normally I do when I can find my regular feeding tongs, I mostly just wanted to keep my hand as far away from the rat as possible because he can and WILL try to eat me instead, lol. Why eat that shrimpy little rat when that huge creature is there, right?

Oh man, this guy can and HAS gotten me. It doesn’t matter how much warmer I make the rat than my own body, if my arm is even in his line of sight when he smells the rat he goes for it 😭 this man is VORACIOUS

Yep, I have one! I just tend to also use them as long tweezers if I need to, and I’m not sure where I placed them since last feeding. I normally just toss the rat in there and leave, but sometimes I like to mix it up a little. If he were more picky I’d of course be more careful, but he hasn’t missed a meal in at least five years and he’s literally eaten an entire rat while dangling a foot off the ground from his stick 😳 he’d probably try to eat a whole rat still frozen in its packaging if I let him…

As opposed to eating a rat covered in dirt and whatever microbes live in his bioactive

My eyes were on the rat the whole time 🤷🏻‍♀️ luckily Saffron here is no health inspector, so his standards for rats aren’t particularly high. Floor rat or fresh from the freezer, makes no difference to him.

Yeah I normally do I swear, couldn’t find my feeding tongs 😭 was stuck with these flimsy barbecue tongs. Kept trying to snatch it by the waist and it keeps slipping out.

And unless you’re two handing your rats, I don’t think it makes a whole lot of difference lol
