I just put a pinkie in with Pendulum (13 week old Het Amel) and he struck at it and has ate it really fast, like 30 seconds from me putting it in to seeing the tail go down.
Would it be wise/safe to let alone defrost and see if he will eat another, or does this sound quite normal?

It's not big but you can see he ate something, although with me knowing were the pinkie will be it might make it more obvious, I just wasn't sure if it would be safe to like leave him a few hours then try another or just give him 2 next week.
