Cannibal Feeders

Well I started to breed my own feeder rats a few months ago with a single pair. The female has had 2 litters. The first have already been used and the second litter were hoppers. I was going to freeze them today when I got up to find them eating the mother!
Has anyone else had this happen? Could they have killed her and eaten her or is it more likely she died and they started eating her. They were well fed and I don't have any idea what happened. Either way it was pretty gross (little rats looking at me with red eyes and blood spattered faces) so I think I might stick with buying frozen from the local pet shop.


Oh I forgot if there is anyone in the East Gippsland area who wants a free adult male rat PM me. The pet shop doesn't want him back and my darwin couldn't handle such a large meal.
