Hey guys,
May sound like a silly question but is there an alternative food source found at my local supermarket or around the home for my adult blonde spotted?
Went to the pet store today and all they had was rats a size up from what my guy usually eats. Stupidly I just bought one thinking he'd be right.
But now that he has it I don't think he's gonna be able to eat it. I don't wanna take it off him then leave him empty stomached, can I give him a portion of raw chicken breast or something?

Or, alternatively should I take to his rat with a knife and offer him portions? (Could get messy).

Or finally, do I just have to wait until tomorrow and get a smaller one?
 
My guess is that he will be fine with it. They can eat over 40% of their body weight. If he can not handle it he will not eat it and there will be no problem.
 
Stick to rats and other convential food items. I wouldn't advise any of the alternatives you mentioned.
