brain damage .. lol

Hey guys quick question(statment) i have a yearling who i have had some trouble with (RI) but i took him to the vet and got it taken care of but feeding seems to be the problem now. Well not really feeding but eating i guess...... he will strike but as per the actual eating he has alot of trouble... it takes him about 30 mins to find the right way to put the mouse in his mouth .. he tries to eat it sideways backwards upside down every way but the right way.. if you watch him you can see him trying to find the direction of the fur then he tries to eat it *** first. He eventually gets fed up, leaves it alone and wont go near it.
i guess what i am wondering is if this is common ...or is dash brain dead lol any comments would be great.
:medmummy:
thanks Jay

Mmm...When my male was approx a year old, after he suffercated his food, he kinda swung his head and the food did the super-man thing. Hasn't done this in a few years but that was his way I guess of showing 'who's the boss' :D

if he does it again try heating up the head hotter then the rest of the body, I had one bp and my JCP do that on a regular basis, i even tried eyedroping hot tap water on the head while they were trying to find the best way to swallow there prey. It worked for me so good luck. I know just how anoying that can be you think yay she/he ate and then nothing.
