Today was Feeding Day...

[exwizard]

... and now I have a few more mouths to feed. First off, it looks like Mick is beginning to switch to rats.. *fingers crossed* He took a rat pup, killed it and it it out while he did so but eventually did manage to eat it.

It looks like the rat shortage continues because I was not able to get any jumbos, either XL or XXL. I did manage to get one retired breeder who happened to be a XL though. Before I realized what size she was I was going to give it toJane but because it was too big for her, I tried to give it to Popeye. All he did was strike at the rat to get it away. Then while I was attempting to retrieve it, Popeye tagged my hand causing it to bleed a lot. Oh well. I got that rat out and tried it on Betty but she refused as well so Arwen got it. As it turns out I had a few extra mediums so I was able to feed them off to the Dums who were scheduled to eat L and XL. As it was, Only Betty and Popeye did not eat. I will try again next week.

On another front, I attempted to feed Poseidon, the male baby Burm, a hopper mouse earlier in the afternoon but he was too quick for me and is now a fugitive, Then later on, I tried again with another hopper mousae and he too became a fugituive so I tossed in a rat pinkie/fuzzy and he took that.

Also, Sheila, my female IJ, got a small rat this time instead of a weaner and she had no problems taking it, so that will be permanent. Im also thinking about upsizing the prey items for the little Macks to full size rat pups. Them being Macklot's, it shouldn't be a problem.

I have done this thread in other forums and I thought it would be fun to do here. I'm interested to see other people's stories about what happened during feeding time so feel free.
