Exclamation Never Again!

This is an awful feeding story I dont know if anyone here gets queesy about feedings I but just incase I figured that maybe I should warn ya before you read it.
Ok my larger gal that I have talked about was lookin a bit hungry. At the moment she is just the right size for small rats but I cant get her to do the switch. So I get this lovely idea in my noggin that hey Ill just throw in one if the baby rabbits that was born the day before easter. I figured if she didnt take it I could just put it back with the mom there arent any claws developed on it so it was pretty much a safe thing for the snake. So I put them in the feeding tank and of course kick back to watch. She went for it right aaway missing the first 3 or 4 strikes the next she got it and here I am thinkin to myself, "Well that was easy." I look away for a while just a minute or so look back and the thing is still alive while shes squeezing so hard its eyes are bulging out. Ok its gotta be over soon Im thinking to myself. Let me tell you all either these baby rabbits are very strong or my gal is a wimp she tried 3 different holds on it and actually started to look tired laying there partially belly up. Im watching it thinkin the next breath will be the last but it isnt theres more. UGH! Ok so shes tired of squeezing it and decides its time to chew on it a bit. Im thinkin oh hell no! You cant eat that woman what are you thinkin its still moving! So I reach in and shake it a bit trying to get her to let go without hurting her. She lets go not happily though and I wack the thing on the side of the tank the thing goes flying and Im stuck with a hollow tail nub in my hand. EWWWWW GROSS! YUCKY! And its still moving Ok I ack it 3 times then finally I kill it bt pulling the head and the feet. Oh dear lord what an awful idea! what the heck was I thinking? So I put it back in the tank with the girl and guess what she doesnt want it no more. OK what ever I dont care Im just gald its over and cant wash my hands enough. Ugh the tail thing just creeps me out!
So just incase anyone is ever thinks to do this (which I doubt anyone would) dont bother! How nerve wracking! And what a waste of food! After all that she ended up eating mice.
