    Rat pups was what he was eating when I got him I was told he was eating these, I'd heard that before but hear a lot of people switch garters to mice etc just wondering if impaction is common and how do you resolve it? if that is his issue.

    I waited a week before trying again the first time he did it and then when he failed the second week I moved him away from the others in case he was stressed.
