Jange got his first adult mouse at 24". It took him about 20 minutes to eat that first one, He seemed to be a little confused as to how it should be eaten. He would grab it in the middle, and walk around shaking it. He eventually figured out "pointy end first", and now he knows to go for the round, hard part. You'll love the sound it makes when your Gu crunches up the "hard part".
Noooice!

If the rodent isn't wider than your Gu's mouth, he will swallow it, no problem. I'll be moving on to rats pretty soon. I'd like to keep him on mice until he can swallow a juvie rat though. I think rodents that are closer to adulthood are better for them.
