Killed but didn't eat it
My SD Retic has been acting different ever since her visit to the vet. (Just took her for a well check and get to know the local vet)
She's been a bit on the docile side. The vet after handling her by the neck and head left a blemish or damaged scale that looks bad. (To me)
The point of this post is, I offered her her weekly meal. Actually, she eats every 5-6 days.
First time, she took a lazy strike then just payed there.
Second was the same.
Each time, I secured the mouse in a tub. Didn't want her to get bit.
Finally, she takes it like a champ, kills it. I get back from walking the dog and there it is, a dead mouse in the cage.
I tried to taunt her with it. She got pissed, killed it again...so to speak and left it laying there.
Is this something I should be worried about?
Could the Dr have possibly squeezed her neck too hard and done some damage?
Thanks,
Scott
