Default Ornate Question

I have a question about my ornate monitor. Its about the weird thing he does with his food. Ive changed from mice to small rats and ive noticed something diffrent with him. If his not hungry he will leave the rat. But keeps going back to it and shacking it. Then he craps on it. Any ideas on whats this all about.

the shaking is done to "kill" the mouse, the crapping on it may be to deter other monitors from having it?
